I'll try some real winter type gloves, and maybe see if my neoprene road shoe toe covers will fit over my gym shoes. I guess I could ride my road bike too, but I'm more comfortable on my converted MTB.
I'll try riding in again, but I don't know how much longer. Call me a wimp but at 57 I'm not going to get crazy about this.
I guess I'm not done yet. It was over 50 this morning, and while the road was wet the sky was blue and it was just a beautiful day. It was about 60 on the way home so I rode in shorts. More of the same for tomorrow, so I'll ride in tomorrow too.
While this sounds great I do worry that I'll soon own beach front property in Brooklyn, especially after Sandy.
