-10º F this morning. Coldest I've ridden in this winter, and I kind of over reacted when I saw the temp and over dressed. First time that I've ridden down the Hillcrest MUP since the previous wind event; wicked bumpy packed single track winding it's way through four foot tall snow drifts, intermittently buried in road plow spray. The next closest bikable corridor into downtown takes me three miles out of my way, but I might use it anyway until the Hillcrest trail improves.

But not tomorrow, as I'm probably calling in sick. Got hit with a serious sinus headache, sore throat, and back of the throat mucus drip half way through work; even begged a ride home of off a co-worker, I felt so bad. I shouldn't be riding around in sub-zero temps anyway, if I'm ill.
