The forecast for my area today:
TODAY: Partly To Mostly Cloudy; Windy; Isolated Mountain Snow Shower
WINDS: WNW 15-20 Gusts 35-40 m.p.h.
HIGHS: Upper 30s (WIND CHILL 20s)


It was 28 degrees (-2C) this a.m. when I left (not sure of the wind speed at that point, but it was blustery).
Yet still I rode. This past weekend (Saturday), it was a bit warmer, yet I didn't go out for a ride at all. I puttered in the house, did a home workout, and raked leaves (made brownies! ).

I'll commute in colder, windier weather than I'll ride in for a "social" ride. I wonder why that is...why I'm so eager to hibernate on a cold weekend, but I'll ride on a cold weekday to work. Is it because I know my commutes are shorter than my social rides, or what?? Is it because my bike commutes are usually the best part of my work day??
