Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for riding. Its supposed to be 45F at my usual time for getting to the trailhead. I'll wear a heavier jacket.
For those of you who are rolling your eyes because I'm saying 48F is cold, you gotta remember, I live in west central Florida.
Having spent a few years in Florida, 2 in Key West and 1 in the Orlando area, it's amazing that you can function at all in 48 degree weather. Are you a transplant.
I know the feeling by the way. My second year in Key West we thought we were going to suffer serious injury when the temp went below 60.
