Congratulations, chefisaac. This morning I was stymied, and disappointed, that I couldn't ride at 11 degrees:

I do have some new items for riding at less that 20 degrees that I want to try out:
-new Neoprene booties to replace the torn, threadbare faithful old ones
-fleece-lined mittens with fingered liners; I'll wear them with a separate pair of knit fingered gloves
-a "necky."…

Tomorrow’s (Thursday) predicted commuting temperature is 23 degrees. I sure hope it gets
wicked cold again real soon.
