Oddly, this is colder than most mornings throughout the entire winter.

I’d rather live with the cold than the 20-30mph winds forecast.

Yeah. Looks like Wednesday is my ride day this week.

Thank Blumbar God of Cold – this should make for a solid, person-free, ride down the currently congested Custis.

And it’ll temporarily kill off the bugs that have been feasting on me the last few days.

Somebody tell JeffC he can ride the Custis again for a day.

I’m all over it, the cold is fine as long as it is not in the teens.

I haven’t boxed up my cold weather gear yet.

One last hurrah for Moose Mitts!

I told my wife that I would still need those stinky lobster claw mitts, “ONE MORE TIME,” I declared…they all called me crazy.

Formally registering as a despicable wimp. I’m thinking the car would seem awfully cozy tomorrow morning.

You can’t quit now! Puhlease – you were bike commuting in January for heaven’s sake. And if the tulips can get out of bed tomorrow morning….

I’ll be riding to do my usual breakfast stop @ $tarbuck$ @ Lyon Village. Getting used to riding to work in short sleeves with minimal layering. Hopefully the sun will heat things up a bit.

Good call. I need to do this more.

Sure I can quit. My tube tops and hot pants are the only thing in my bike bins. I about died of heat exhaustion on Sunday in cold weather tights. I put all that stuff away in storage.
I’m tired getting up in the morning and waiting for my face to go numb as the wind hits it and the joy of wearing two pairs of gloves and tights over tights is almost more than my heart can bear. My goodness, by the time I pull on all my clothes I feel like that wretched Bibendum logo but less flexible.
Tulips? Unless the Hooters I pass has decided to landscape I doubt if I’ll see any tulips. Buses, 7-11’s, and a few fire stations. Which leaves me wondering, why don’t they ever wash their firetrucks? Terribly disappointing.
I might salvage some pride by morning.
Perhaps.
But seriously, if I had pride would a majority of my clothes be black Spandex?
