overdressed the top this morning, the bottom was fine with wind pants over levis. would have been warm on bottom after another mile or so. still trying out different face warmers in the morning.

Put a set of ritchey speed max cross tires on last night, the rear tioga city gripper the bike came with is bald except for the edge. The cross tires have some vibration in the corners that I'm not thrilled with, but will probably need the extra grip in the next week or so. The chatter is worse than the kenda qwik crosses I have on my nishiki frankentour bike. OTOH, the kids at the bike shop have them on their bikes and said they are long lasting, so I will reserve any more judgement until I have a few hundred miles on them.
