I had my first great experience in the dark and cold. I have finally gotten my winter gear in order. T-shirt, dry weave shirt, 2 sweatshirts, a jacket with a tall collar, and a windbreaker with a hood.

My feet did get cold, and I will have to deal with that problem. I think some booties will be bought this week.

The ride itself was fun. I pretty much stick to the lighted route and multiuse paths. I would rather be on the streets, but the paths are pretty desolate this time of year.

There were a couple of other riders out. That was kinda neat seeing some others out there.
