wasn’t sure I’d ever try it, but I left the house on two wheels when it was below 20… 17 degrees, to be exact (-8C)

to my amazement, I was hot not cold! turns out the l.l. bean fleece + the columbia ski shell is too much. maybe I would be OK at 10 degrees then. next time I will go back to the stock columbia liner.

ok, well, the piggies were a bit cold even though I had felt liners, wool socks, and booties. maybe I need to get the warm packs. fingers were fine though.

every time I leave the house for the 13.5 mile ride it seems a bit crazy, but what a feeling to roll into the office! now if I could just find a path with more straightaways…
