Foggy! Wore my snowboard gear, which would seem like overkill later in the winter but I was comfy today and that's what mattered.

Today was one of those days where my bike feels 2 sizes too big. It doesn't always. It really depends on how much I've been riding lately, which isn't much. It's definitely at least one size too big, which I've addressed with a short stem and short reach rando handlebars. I guess the whole "cross bike" idea falls down for me at the point where a "cross bike" is a racing bike. I want the same amount of stack and less reach. The standover is reduced by the high BB and big tires to the point that I juuuust make it.
