Wow! Reading your post is like snuggling up to the radiator. Warms you through and through! Does it ever get really cold where you area? (ignorant American that I am...) You stay hydrated, and we'll stay warm. L.

I bought some tights yesterday. I've got no excuses for the daylight hours now
(aside from the working thing).
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

arnaew: *cigh*....I LOVE the heat! I was trying to figure out what excuse I could use to call in to work today - not that I didn't wanna work, I just didn't feel like putting on a hundred-million-thousand-layers yet Again to ride to work! But then I remembered the saying from the guy that's ridden something like 5,000 days in a row: don't let your Mind talk you out of it! As for finishing the ride - you go girl! You SHOULD throw your hands in the air! Nicely Done Ma'am!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Honest to gawd... I don't know how those of you who live in cold states ride during the winter at all!!! you said it was in the 20's??? Holy moly... if it hits 20 here I'm taking up knitting!
I did a ride yesterday and it was 40 when we left... I had on tights, toe covers, a long sleeve jersey AND jacket, a cap under helmet, and superwarm gloves... I looked like I was ready for snow... but I am so used to 70 degree and up...
I am in awe of anyone who even LOOKS at their bike when it's THAT cold out! I remember the first time a cyclist mentioned snow studded bike tires I honestly thought they were pulling my leg and lying to me!!!!
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

The best is when it's so cold when you ride that you get a brain freeze ala drinking a slurpee from 7-eleven too fast
That's livin'....or just being nuts."Only the meek get pinched, the bold survive"

Ridding in Winter?????
Okay here is Wisconsin it is not quite 50 but arent you afraid of all the salt and crud on the roads with your bike? I am missing my bike so bad this winter, it is hurting and spin at the gym just isnt cutting it. I keep thinking I am going to meet up with a ice patch and that would take care of things. I walked a friends dog the other day on a paved trail I like to use in the summer for my bike and even though it was 45 degrees,there was black ice and the dog almost took me out.
I just got home from the hospital taking care of a needed surgery and the reason I did it now was so I would so be ready for April and the begining or ride season but now I wonder what I am missing on this winter driving....
How do you protect your hands? That would be my biggest fear.....
