Record low

[johnridley]

On the ride in this morning it was -4*F. Not nearly the coldest I've ridden in, just the coldest this year so far. Just keeping track.

Clothing: thin socks and then wool socks, high top hunting boots - OK
Thermals underwear, then baggy shorts, then nylon shell - OK.
Poly compression top, then poly sweatshirt and rain jacket shell - belly was very cold even though not really exposed, the rest OK.
Fleece balaclava, prescription goggles, helmet with rain cover and cheap hunting gloves - all fine except the little sliver over skin under the glasses hurt a bit. No danger of frostbite, and for some reason it bothered me even though my nose wasn't really bothered at all.

I drove K to school today because he needed to take a science experiment in. We believe we saw you riding by; either that, or there are two people in this area riding bikes with various blinking lights. K says you're nuts. :-)
