I wonder how many winter riders there have been in the last week or so--I know *I* wussed out and took the bus during that crazy cold snap.
edited to add: Edmontonians, feel free to laugh while reading that previous sentence--I think -25 C was about as cold as it ever got.
I sucked it up... but our work panicked in the face of the supposed snowmageddon and cancelled wednesday's shift, so I missed the worst of the snow, but I was out on the days previous and it was -20 and I found a toque kept enough of my bodyheat in that I was comfortable for 5km and 10km, at midnight to boot.
