Wooot!

I have, however, forgotten what 17mph winds feel like when I get on the edge of harvested fields. There was one downhill that is generally protected from the wind, but the wind just happened to be coming from that direction. I have typically gone 20-25 mph down that hill - but the wind was pushing back so much that I was going down the hill at 14!

Love the new BMX pedals. Since I can't go clipless until at least spring, I sprang for a set of Sun Ringle ZuZu pedals as they have more pins, the pins are adjustable, and they have sealed bearings. My original pair of BMX pedals were quite beat up and only had 4 pins - I think in winter conditions the more the merrier.

On part of my route there is a VERY rough patch of pavement that I avoided as my feet always slid around with my older bmx pedals. Today I didn't ride around it but over it - and my feet stayed right where they were supposed to. Wasn't sure my TEETH would, but my feet did

Looking forward to it being cold enough to try out my new gloves that someone at TE made possible and giving a review on this.
