Woohoo 5 for 5 so far this month/year! This time last year I only had 3 commutes in by this point. Doing good!

When I woke up at 5 AM it was 19F outside. By the time I left the house at 6 it was about 22 or so. The bike computer showed 24F most of the way in (and it's pretty accurate to TWC's temperature reporting in my experience). Traffic seemed light, no issues at all with motorists.

Toes still froze, as usual. I even tried some plastic bag pieces over my wool socks, inside my shoes, to no avail. My torso also got to feeling really cold/numb, despite having on 4 layers up top, bib shorts, and 2 pairs of tights. Arms were fine, so I guess I need some sort of thicker vest layer that won't add any more material to my arms.

It was a little too cold for my normal full finger lined cycling gloves, so I used the ski gloves I have. Those things make my hands sweat like crazy even when below freezing. The insides of them are still wet now even 3.5 hours after arriving at work. I brought my regular gloves so I can wear those on the way home and not have to worry about wet gloves. Yuck.
