Default Who went riding today (central ohio = 39 degrees)

I rode for about 20-30 minutes but my fingers got really cold as did my face. Got to get some winter gloves.

I rode about 40 miles this morning. Low 40's and raining. I was completely in the moment while riding and totally energized when I was finished!

A few of us that ride together meet at Starbucks Saturday and Sunday mornings. It was 25* with a flake or two coming down. So I took the truck. Two guys showed up with their bikes. I'll never live it down.

Was 38 here, which is unusual for this area. Did about 80 miles, but had my Heated jacket liner and gloves.

I didn't ride until it almost hit 50 today. Call me a wuss. Dass OK, it's mid 30's soon, and I think I'll ride to the bar. A gallon or 3 of beer will help fight off the cold. [8D]

Went for a short ride this morning. Temp was up to about 38 here.
The only thing I hate about riding in cold weather is: I damn near break a sweat putting on the cold weather gear to go riding [:@]
I'm thinking seriously about some heated gear so I cancut back onwhat I have to put on...

Yes, about 180 miles. It was 72 and clear and is supposed to stay that way, give or take a few degrees, for the next week or so. Then it might get down to the high 60's. I got to break out my winter clothes.
