Last night was so blissful on the way home. I played my Bach cantata on my headphones as I rode on the bike path. (I don't listen to headphones in motor traffic.) The night sky was so clear, and the scenery on the Hudson was pretty breathtaking. It's rare to have such a clear winter night. I can't capture the beauty with my cellphone camera, because it focuses on the foreground instead of far objects. Or is there a way to adjust that with an iphone 6S?
I seem to have gotten my clothing down to a science, so I was super comfortable even though it was cold and windy. I have a wool t-shirt and then a dress shirt which seems never to get sweaty thanks to the non-cotton layers around it. Above the dress shirt, I wear one of these silly looking high-tech cycling jackets or cardigans or whatever they're called. It's very thin, and it's sometimes all I need. Then sometimes I wear my winter jacket over that.
