Well, I did manage to get out for a 41-mile ride this morning...ever so slightly inching my way towards my mileage goal. It was 31 degrees when I left the house at 8am, no sun, a brisk south wind, and very damp out with wet roads. Most of the snow and ice were cleared from the roads, with the exception of a few stretches of slush-covered shoulders. My hands were cold and numb, but that's nothing new for me...as they usually go numb even on a warm day. I should have worn a pair of warmer gloves. The rest of me was perfectly fine. The one problem I have when I ride in colder temps...I often forget to hydrate properly. I think I took maybe 3 or 4 sips out of my water bottle for the whole ride... I was home before 11am...so about a 3-hour ride. All in all, I'm glad I was able to get out today, as it very well may have been my last ride of the year. Sleet and snow moving in tonight, with high winds and bitter cold temps for the next few days.
