-6C with a 30kph headwind for half the ride. First ride of the season that my water bottler started icing over. I was almost perfectly dressed except the tips of my thumbs and fore fingers were getting cold. Despite pedalling for 50 minutes my shirt was almost completely dry when I got to school. The snow started come down about 2/3rd the way in and there should be plenty on the ground for the ride home. I'll try running 8 or 9 psi in my fat tires for the trip home.

Were expecting 10cm today, 10 more tonight and 5-10 tomorrow, so I'll get to try my bike in some deep stuff. I put my car winter tires on last night, I tend to leave it to the last minute.

I wanted to try my heart rate strap with my Garmin today. When I put the chest strap on it kept slipping off, I guess I really am losing some weight.

My radbot1000 turned off by itself during my ride. It did the same thing last week but I thought the batteries were just low. I'll have to take it apart and see if the contacts lost their springiness.

Today's ride puts me at 7,000km for the year. I'm less than 1,000km from last year's total distance.
