Wind blowin' at about 20+ mph, temps at 83 degrees.
Bit tough coming home with a headwind.
Yeah, I know: Complain, complain . . .

It was 83°F when I rode here this afternoon, winds were negligible and the sun was a'shinin! Life can be tough here in NW Florida. This was 8 days straight of riding here. We aren't getting old, we are getting better.
And, yes I too feel much colder these days, never had that problem in the past years. Comes wth the territory they tell me.

You're getting "Over Locknut Dimension"? Ouch! I don't know if there's a cure for that.

I gotta laugh. Raised in Ohio. Parents up and moved to southern Florida about 20 years ago. Dad, (ex-Marine) can't handle the cold cold anymore. Tough sissy baby. OoooRah!
Me, on the other hand, lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. The great white north. We don't call it Winterpeg for nuthin! But, at 50 and no hair on top, I do get cold fast. Speaking of which, I did not ride today. Nope. 25 when I woke up, and barely got past 32. Plus 10 mile an wind. Back on the trainer……...

Some frost this morning, 32*, 20 mph from the north. Probaly set by the fire, on the trainer, for awhile. Been windy (25-35) all week not many road miles logged in. May drop by the LBS, as they got a few used bikes on sale. You just never know what can be had there.

Just barely above freezing on the ride in to work this morning. But felt OK with early morning sun shining on me and my hands, which normally complain of cold before the rest of me. Should be upper 50's and sunny for the ride home.
Later that same day: Yes, sunny and 50's on the ride home. With a bit of a tailwind at times. Nice. 21 miles total.

A little colder this morning than yesterday (about 32F) but 60F on the ride home. Very nice bike commute of 20 miles.
