46F for the ride this morning. tried out Gator in-shoe toe covers. awesome. paired w/ thin Smartwool socks, i was noticeably warm w/o sweating in my ventilated mtb shoes (Shimano MT22's). did have to find my gloves though. below 50 my hands start to get chilly.

came home and the wife had chicken soup and an Ommegang Abbey Ale (dubbel) waiting. mad that i can't help her dealing with the new job search, but the stress cooking is working out all right.....
