A really nice ride today; low 40s starting out, and I didn't pick up much wind until I hit the Memorial Bridge. Thin tights, thin gloves, just a base layer under my Showers Pass jacket, and no beanie under the helmet was just right, I think. Passed a number of folks with balaclavas and masks, which seemed like a lot to me... as did the folks wearing full weight winter coats.

However, one fellow commuter set me straight; she doesn't wear the mask for the cold, but to protect her skin from the wind :-)

Weird sighting of the day: A guy commuting on a Segway on the Custis Trail. At first I thought it might be a cop or parking enforcement type, or some other municipal official, but it had no markings, he was not wearing a uniform or visible ID, and he was acting like any other commuter, rather than like someone doing a survey or other 'business' on the trail. I dropped him like a rock once I had room to pass.
