Time for Tights?
Say it isn't so! It's bad enough the days are getting so short, but does it have to get cold already?
This morning I headed out with a windbreaker, light gloves and regular shorts. At first I was surprised that even with the jacket it was a little chilly. after a few minutes of climbing, though, I started to think it was unnecessary. But what really surprised me was something I don't recall ever experiencing before. Toward the end of this morning's somewhat brief ride was my favorite little descent: a couple of bends, a little bump, then a nice wide, relatively flat straightaway. Love to see how long I can keep up speed on that. Well, the moment I dial down the watts towards the end (there's a 90 degree bend) my legs get cold all of a sudden and start acting like I just got on the bike: i.e., not warmed up like they should have been by then. Just all of a sudden cold. Guess I shoulda kept the heat on.
