Was a chilly ride for me. I haven't commuted to work in the coldest of weather yet. Today was my first REALLY cold day. It was 27F when I started. I had good layering and I stayed warm the whole time. I still have one more layer at home that I can add if it get colder... I'll probably add that if it's down under 20F.

My cyclocomputer totally froze up. The screen was still good and showing digits and such, but it wasn't reading any speed or time. I double checked and the magnet was very close to the pickup. I've been having problems with this for sometime now in colder weather. I think it finally just got too cold for it. I am thinking I will pull out my old "wired" cyclocomputer and just use that from now on. The current one I have is wireless. Plus I use it on both my bikes. It's great to just switch the computer from bike to bike, but I guess if it can deal with the cold, it's not much use.

Funny thing happened: A police officer was pulled over and standing in front of his car with his radar gun out. Obvious speed trap. No cars where behind me as I was pulling up to him and he aimed the radar gun at me to check out my speed. I tried to duck out of the way and he just laughed. He said I was "moving along pretty good" when I passed him. Course, I couldn't tell because my computer was frozen up by that time. But I was on a hill so I doubt I was doing more than 12 or 13 mph at the time. Its a good thing I didn't get me a little ways up the road and coming home... it's a monster hill. I've hit 35 or 36 on it several times. Speed limit is 25. LOL. I wonder if he'd pull me over.
