Sure you can do it.
It's all a mindset.
It's not cold... It's "invigorating!"
It's not dark.... It's nearly dawn.
Just think of how toasty you'll feel after your first hill (assuming you hit some hills, of course!)
Remember the Shrek method of dressing (layers...like an onion!).
Enjoy a warm beverage of your choice at the end of it all, and let us know how it went!
