well, winter is definitely here with the temp this morning of -7C (19F) and again not getting over freezing. but the commute was again no problem. the skull cap i added is good except it gets pretty wet... we got a light dusting of snow and the radio was chattering about commuting delays but i didn't notice a think

last night a friend of mine rode out (i work on the outer edge of Munich) to meet me and we rode into town and then we bought all the stuff to build him a NiMH 20W light like i had made. we had to go to a few places --- in total i've logged 150km from Monday - Wednesday, all at less than 0C!

but it is cold enough that people REALLY think i'm weird now. i saw 2 coworkers yestrday as i was leaving with all my gear on and they were just shocked! then i went to my club Bike Guide meeting to discuss next year's tours, and even the group of 12 bike tour guides thought it was too cold to ride...

ah, well i've ridden every day the last 2 weeks and i am glad for it!
