Rode 24 slow miles with my friend this afternoon. Really beautiful out, about 50 and sunny. The real feel was 47, but after about 10 miles, I had to take my head cover and glove liners off. My ears were a little cold, but I had already experimented with pushing it up behind my ears, and I was still sweating. Usually taking the head cover off is the only way to stop this, as I didn't have a heavy jacket on, just a light wind jacket, a thin fleece lined jersey, and a short sleeved base layer. My fingers were starting to get cold at the end, as the light full finger gloves I have are vented. Then I noticed a hole in the index finger.
I stayed behnid my friend for quite a bit, as I just felt dead, but in the end I did go ahead. Average was still really, really slow, but I planned it this way. It's going to be 60 tomorrow, so I want to be good for a long ride with DH.
I had a flu shot yesterday, so maybe I am a little achy from that? Last year, I felt kind of sick for a day after the shot, but nothing like that this time.
