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.
Forgetting to hydrate is common in the cold - I had to remind my riders on the group ride yesterday to drink - it was mid 30s, sunny, but the wind was chilly. Totally clear roads so we were keeping a good pace down the trail - 20 mph - certainly fast enough that they needed to be drinking as while we were comfortable, we were all working good and sweating some.

Good thing you got out - I saw da Bears game today.....how they play in that is beyond me!
