Okay, I know that us Houston Texas gals are hot house flowers and shouldn't complain, but in all honesty it is not that it is cold around here, but that last week I was riding in the 80's and yesterday I was riding in the 50's and next week it will be up in the 70's again so it's mostly that my body doesn't have time to ease into the changes but on my ride today I felt like the Michelin girl. I had on a sleevless wool underlayer, a thick long sleeved jersey, armwarmers, bike shorts and long thermal tights, a wind vest, medium duty cold weather gloves, wool socks, a buff around my neck and up over my head, a wool head band, and regular bike shoes rather than sandals. We started out in the mid 40 's and ended in the upper 50's and I was still feeling cool, not warm. My other plaint is that all that extra stuff makes my already less than graceful getting off the bike a downright clown act.

I love the cold weather, really I do, but I do wish that it would ease down in temps over a couple of weeks and then stay low for awhile so that I could get used to it rather than this stupid roller coaster temps.

ust another of lifes challenges I guess. thaks for listening,now return to your normal progeramming.
