Today's morning temperature...is a normal, not very cold temp. in our region. WE have dry air, so the cold is not the same as more moist cold air. But still, yea, it's...cold.

Coldest I have cycled is -25 degrees C (-13 degrees F) several times. Those definitely are short rides. I can barely get my bike lock open without freezing my fingers. (I can't unlock a bike with lobster claw mittens.) At such cold temp. one does feel loss of 50-100 calories just from staying warm, never mind moving on bike!

We have a shorter growing season here, Catrin. Spring doesn't start until mid-late June.
