It was -22 as I left for my ride yesterday morning. Zero wind, however, made it feel warmer than previous days. During this cold snap I've become a fan of hoods. I really never utilized them before while riding but man they make a huge difference. I didn't start with it on yesterday but stopped a few minutes in to put it up. I could feel the makings of an ice cream headache coming on.
I must admit I enjoyed this cold. It was relatively short lived so it was fun to get out in it. Weird I know but it helps make riding the same thing a bit different and thus more enjoyable. All that being said last night I was overcome with a huge wave of wanting summer. Bib shorts, short sleeve jersey, gravel, sweat...can't wait! But I'm also no fool, well sometimes, and know we have a huge chunk of winter left and the worst season, Spring, to get through. Soon enough.
It's a balmy -12 this morning...heat wave!
