I've decided there's a long-term governmental conspiracy going on with the reported temperatures! I know (!) that 10 years ago when they said it was 36 degrees, it wasn't as cold as if feels now!
Anyway, it's my first winter to cycle commute, and I'm learning new things. Today I learned that I need to wear different shoes (mesh-type cross trainers don't keep the wind out!) and I need new gloves! Other than that, it was uneventful. Very pretty sunrise this morning!
