everything looks good now! thanks for all the help. learned a little about strava and editing GPX files today too 🙂

ok i believe it looks correct on strava finally, although it hasn’t loaded into the site yet. i’ll give it a bit to see if it gets loaded in, hopefully there’s not a manual refresh required.

thanks for your help!

my rides are back! but that one is very weird. it posted but then didn’t show up on my strava feed for a week, so i guess it was adding time there.

after splitting the activitiy, i have a 0 logged on day 33 but now the ride is listed as february 9. i’ll have to see how to get that date updated

i am always cold, so i’ve been layering a lot. this is probably an excessive list for most people, but maybe helps with ideas for layering! this is what i’ve been doing when it’s around 25 or below.

for extremities, i have: wind/water resistant gloves, wool blend helmet liner, foldable ear muffs, a gaiter/buff, and have worn up to 2 pairs of socks in my timberland boots.

the most i’ve worn on top is: thermal fleece lined layer, crewneck sweatshirt, vest, puffer jacket, high vis jacket (a bit of a wind layer)

and for pants: thermal lined winter biking leggings, wool blend sweatpants, and rain paints over it all as a windbreaker layer.

from my former running days, i find that it is helpful to tuck shirts into your pants (goes with what other people are saying about keeping your core warm) and as you start to get a little warmer, you can just untuck layers to cool off a little!

hello, i’m cindy – looking forward to a first freezing saddles! i started bike commuting ~a year and a half ago but took a break last winter. hoping to bike through this winter and when i saw this on the WABA newsletter, thought this would be fun! especially since i can be very motivated by challenge completions 🙂
