Find a long way home (but maybe wait until spring) :-)
High 20s today, but I braved it without the Balaclava, and I think that was wise - I was sweating just a little by the time I arrived. Slowest ride I can remember, but some of that was probably the wonky shifting caused by the screwed up rear drivetrain. I think I'll ride the MTB until the shop gets the new RD in, as I don't want to cause more damage.
I get to ride again tomorrow, and then I might have to take a couple of days off for holiday festivities - needing to be dressed up doesn't always work so well with biking (for me). I'm still considering, though, as I feel like it is semi criminal to pass up a sunny day without a really good reason.
