carbon copy of yesterday -28c with a -38c windchill. No exposed skin and a helluva lot of ice build up on the balaclava near my mouth. The bike handles and accelerates like a tank right now since the grease in all the rotating parts (hubs, bb, headset) has the viscosity of frozen toffee. Course it doesn't help that its much harder to move under the gazillion layers I have on. No music for me on the ride in these days. The boyz at apple have yet to figure out how to make a battery last longer than 2 minutes in cold temps. The most amazing thing, I'm still running into a lot of riders out there.
