Cold (by local standards, this year anyway) ride this morning. 30F when I left the house. I'm clearly not equipped for sub-freezing (even by a little bit) temps - my bald head was miserable for the first 4 miles (funny - that helmet has not nearly enough venting on an 80 deg day like last thursday and then my feet went numb at about mile 8. A bit of a slow ride as I was really careful on the bridges, and dodging black ice from sprinkler systems that run year round in this part of the world... Oh, and I almost got hit by a guy turning left across traffic. I was 2nd in line at a stoplight, basically in the middle of the straight through lane, and he tried to jump into the small hole between the guy in front of me and the guy behind me... until he saw that it wasn't a hole after all. Wish I had a picture of the look on his face when he saw me...
