After riding so much earlier in the month, taking two consecutive days off riding feels like an eternity. I got 3 two hour touring bike rides in late last week but took yesterday and today off. We got fresh snow today, so I'll take the mountain bike out tomorrow morning.

Even though it was above freezing for the longer rides, I used my electric foot warmers with thin socks. On the lowest setting it kept my feet warm the entire time. I'll probably use them every ride regardless of temperature for the remainder of the winter. The battery packs clip on very securely and surprisingly I don't even notice the weight despite their size. I can just barely get my shoes covers around them, which should keep them from going anywhere.
