I don't get how people can ride all bundled up! I sweat plenty with shorts and a long sleeve base layer -- I can't imagine doing it in tights, with a hat and neck gaiter, or rockin' a full on parka, as so many of my fellow cyclists are doing it. I did, however, wear full finger gloves today, as my fingers were cold almost the whole way to work yesterday wearing fingerless.
I realized that because of work, weather and other obligations, this was the first week I've ridden two consecutive days since... August? It has really taken a toll on my mileage accumulation rate! I think I'll ride the long way home tonight to make up for taking the short option this morning, but I need to get on the stick if I'm going to actually make 3,000 miles for the year.
