10 miles tonight on the Minuteman, in temperatures that started in the high 30s and dropped to the freezing point by the time I finished, not as cold as Jim's morning commute, but it'll do. Mostly got the layering right, but the thin wool socks and summer shoes (mesh uppers) missed the mark. Took the Rawland Nordavinden, takes a light touch for the steering, still get the giggles every time I ride it. First use of the balaclava this season. Lots of riders, all but me apparently commuting, with only one other trail user, who might have been a runner, judging by his togs, but who was standing motionless and staring raptly over the dimly glowing Great Meadow.
Rode home and ate a bowl of hot chicken soup.
