Just got tired of driving and needed to ride the bike. head cold be darned. 24F this morning. I saw some frozen water in a few spots on the ride. I was pretty comfortable. I wore my goggles and they fogged a little but not bad enough to stop and freeze my face with glasses. So weird to ride without glasses everything was a little blurry. I have to figure out something i miss being able to see clearly and no mirror with the googles. I work my balaclava and my neck gaiter. I think my throat appreciated breathing in the warmer air. A couple times when I was really going hard i felt like i was sufficating so I just had to slow down some. (in my head i said "base miles, rule #9 , this is not a race slow down some, and this is better than driving again.")

oh yeah work hours changed this so I had to leave 30 minutes earlier. It was quite dark this morning but less traffic at that time. The bonus is I get to leave work 30 minutes earlier now.
