Cold weather still here.

So as the weather returns to regular February weather, let us not dwell on the fabulous warm weather of late. Instead, lets think back to late January on a Sunday when the high was in the low to mid 20's. Brrr... for Virginia. Somehow, though, Frank and I still headed out for a road ride. Just shy of 2.25 hours.

I had just got a pair of half lobster claw gloves, Borealis, from Planet Bike. Toasty.


Sure wish I'd had my Castelli Wrap Due booties then, but with a steady pace my body somehow managed to stay mostly warm.

One of Frank's water bottle froze during the ride and had to be thawed inside his jacket. My cytomax slushed up but frequent sips kept the top from freezing. My plain water bottle had an ice chunk in it that was still there 45 minutes after getting home.

(I think Bob still owes us lunch. He didn't believe we would actually ride.) Still, it was a good day to ride.
