Two weeks in Kuala Lumpur, followed by a catching a cold, followed by the holidays (Company shuts down between Christmas and New Year) and I haven't commuted since early December. The temps in early December were oscillating between 30F and 50F. This morning was 17F so I had a bit of a rude welcome back. My ride is only 20mins each way so, as long as it the wind doesn't kick up, I can deal with that given my current gear. But any worse and I'll have to go shopping.

I've had to stop the fitness rides the last couple of weeks. I can deal with the cold for 20 mins, but for 1.5 to 2 hours riding, it's just too cold for me.

I know many of you deal with this on a routine basis, but this is unusual for us here in Alabama.
