Feeling cold after a ride

[tulip]

Put a hat on. That ought to help, too. Lots of heat is lost through our heads.

Cat draped over head... check.

Oh, you said hat! Yes, that should help, too! I wonder if the cat will let me put a hat on over him?

[owlice]

Ow!

No. No, he won't.

Haha I have a second cat you can borrow for extra warmth though.

But yes, I've worried about the freezing thing too, and it seems to just be normal for me. Though I tend towards anemic also.

If I have a long drive home I will sometimes just shiver uncontrollably even with the heat on. I love that my house has hot water INSTANTLY in the bath. And I can't afford to keep this place as warm as I want, so a space heater is a necessity.

(I've always said that "when I grow up" I want to keep the house warm enough in the winter to walk around in my underwear )

soak in a hot bath?? maybe you have a bug?

Eat! I get cold after many rides, never mind the temperature. A few good calories in my tummy will help. <I keep single portion containers of home made chili in the freezer for that reason.> Of course a fleece and socks will help, but usually after eating, I will remove then in a hurry.

This is why I always have a wool hat to put on after a long ride, even in the summer.
