Back on the bike yesterday after 3 weeks of no riding... Had to go to Mexico to dive and drink margaritas. Coming back from Mexico and on to a 20F commute yesterday was rough. My legs felt like day old burritos and I was freezing. But it made today's 10F ride more tolerable :-)

Working on trying to figure out the right set up for cold riding. It appears that socks and tennis shoes are not enough as this morning my toes were really cold. Better gloves will help the fingers too. I think a trip to the PerformanceBike store is in order tonight. Yippie ! I love going to the bike store :-)

Ordered my studded snow tires today too. Nokian 35mm's. There are 2 bridges on my route [in the zippy down hill section] that are iced nicely when moisture is present.

Feels great to be riding again... I felt like I was missing something
