According to Teh Weather Channel, today in the Greater Metro the air feels like one degree farenhizzle.  Everything that can possibly freeze is now frozen. Even the snow is extra frozen. Compared to my trip home last night, however, my outbound ride today was a stone-cold breeze. I dressed for 30 yesterday and got it in the morning, and then got… oh I think about 12, with 60mph wind, in the evening. I had to stop in to two different shops on the way home from work to warm up, lest I lose digits. Today I dressed for the Tundra, with socks x 3, pants x 2, shirts x 4 and the good old CLAW, and I only experienced a slight numbing of the toes before I made it to the office. The only problem I have with riding like this is what I call the Christmas Story Issue, i.e. ” I can’t put my arms down!! “. It’s so hard to get up to speed when you’ve got twelve layers on, not to mention the wind drag, please let me not mention the wind drag, because I’ll be bitching about it all day. So I won’t mention the wind drag. There, I didn’t mention it. Anyway, bundle up you bastards, but keep riding!
