I'm getting ready to head out on a long ride this afternoon. It's "only" 25 miles but that's long given that the temp might break freezing today and there is a new light dusting of snow everywhere.
The idea of hot tea counts as a great idea. I like it,
This time of year, I take my "tank" shod with winter continental 26 x 2.0 tires, a rack, lights, and a single pannier so adding a thermos will be a piece of cake.
