Fall/ Winter 2011 Commuters

Tri Girl, you can get frostbite in just a few minutes at those temperatures. Your feet (and other extremities) should be toasty warm. Wool socks and chemical warmers, even if you don't wear cycling shoes, hiking boots, etc.

I am fondly remembering that 107F bike ride in Phoenix back in September. Frost on the ground today. It seems too early in the year for long johns and the wool undershirt already, but it's probably about the same as last year.

I keep telling myself I should just walk, it's close enough and I'd be more comfortable. But I just don't want to take the time. At some point I guess it'll take as long to suit up for biking as it does to walk, and then I'll walk!
