Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2010-2011 (Page 31)

I promised I would ride the bike to dinner tonight, about a 4.5 mile ride each way.  It's 5 degrees right now and I am praying it won't get much colder in the next few hours.  Although, what's the big difference when it's this cold...  I am going to go and lay out my many layers now, wish me luck.

 It was -3 when we got home, so I am taking credit for the full 8 points because it was already dark when we headed out.  I had to guess on the time, I tried to be conservative.  But still, my 630 pt ride doesn't touch some of you guys!

Yeah, the clothing is still a mystery. I was really quite sweaty, my goggles didn't last more than 3 miles.  But I'll take sweaty over cold, any day, as long as I don't have to stop

life has thrown a few curveballs my way so havent been tallying stuff as my ability to get out running in the cold as consistently as i would have liked and i therefore cant back up my smack, but was thinking of y'all plugging away during my jaunt at -10F this AM.  I will admit it was kind of by default cuz i couldnt find my card for the gym since i havent been there in a while but i guess that just means it was meant to be.  keep on truckin'!

I am glad we're using wunderground.com and not the thermometer on my deck, because I just realized my bike ride on Saturday earned me some points!  It was just a hair over 40 on the deck, but was 35 in the weather history.  Woo-hoo!

Love my winter bike, it even handled major slushies well.  I did have a little spill, though, on a bridge that had poorly cleared snow cover and lots of ruts.  Oh well.  It was quite a different ride from Wednesday!  Now we've had a ton of melting since, the paths are nearly good enough for the roadie.
