wow, 7.5 minutes per mile, must be nice. I was never able to crack 14 mins/mile when I was running, before I got into cycling. But then I'm a slow runner AND a slow cyclist.
Pretty nice this morning, TWC said it was 50 when I left, but the display on the bike said more like 48, and got as low as 44 at one point. Bib shorts + unpadded tights, long sleeve base layer, short sleeve jersey, and wind shell. Wool socks and toe warmers. I was a bit overdressed I think, but my face (ears) could have used more covering.
Saw the same dude again who honked last Tuesday and yelled at me to get over to the side last Thursday. Got the full license plate this time. Although this time he passed me with plenty of clearance and no honking or verbal interaction. I'll just file away the vehicle description and license plate number in case anything else happens again.
