this whole week it hasn't gotten over freezing in Munich. Monday was pretty brutal as i had just returned from 3 days in Barcelona where it was like 11-13C (50sF)- so pretty warm in comparision with -6 to 0C!

i'm now up to wearing my undershirt, long-sleeve, windproof jersey/jacket and then shell jacket, with my winter winproof fleece tights and my winter Polar shoes and neoprene overshoes and my snowboard gloves with liner underneath and windproof headband and helmut cover --- head was a little cold yesterday, so i added a thin skull cap under the helmet - also blocks the skin gap between the headband and the helmet. my hands were actually a little cold this morning on the way to work.

Monday and Tuesday i say quite a few cyclists, but for some reason saw very few today. actually, monday some guy passed me which rarely happens - i usually pass maybe 30-40 cyclists in my 30-minute commute.

just checked the forecast and today's high is -4C (24 F) and tomorrow night's low is -11C (12F), but unfortunately no snow in the forcast for the next 5 days or so -- just cold.

i put the studded tire on the back last Friday, so i've ready for the snow if it ever comes! i'm ready!
