Now I've done it......

turned myself into a Doofsicle this morning..... 28 degrees and freezing fog this morning. Rode in to work anyway because it had been over 10 days since I last rode. I slid all over those raised white crosswalks and arrows. Even with thermal undies (which are miraculously still clean), wool socks, and gauntlet gloves... I froze. Several cups of hot cocoa and I am now beginning to feel my fingers and toes. Time to buy myself a late Christmas present of heated gear.....

Funny how riding withdrawal contributes to stupid decision-making.

I do the same thing. got all bundled up good today and after I left home, I realized I had my Dickie tennis shoes on! what a Doof move that was! I was however warm on top!

I rode with temps in the 30's a few weeks ago...but it was for a charity ride. Can't say I liked it. Even with all the layers, my feet were almost completely numb. Made stops a lil hairy. I know, I guess i'm a wuss, but I'm lacking in the natural insulation department!

Glad you made it to work safe. Water hangin' in the air and freezing temps aren't traction enhancing. If ya have a beard the frozen water droplets hangin off of it looks pretty cool though.

Yeah.... rode to work this morning again. Temp was 31 degrees.
My breath froze to my whiskers. My co-workers said I looked a little sparkly.
