Yesterday, I rode a 50 mile gravel ride with a friend, the Frostbite 30-40-50.

My legs are like rubber today, so I took the eFatty on the commute this morning. Like Tundra Man, it was warmer today, low 40s, and should be high 40s by the time I head home. It felt great to not be so bundled up, just a vented riding jacket on top of my nice flannel I'm wearing to work today. Regular pants with an ankle cuff. eBike helmet instead of the ski helmet. No balaclava. Insulated work gloves instead of ski mittens. No ski goggles. (the eBike helmet has a flip-down face shield)
I got an email from this one recipes lady full of stew recipes. I think I'll pick one and stop by the grocer on the way home to get the ingredients. ...or maybe (with the warm weather) something for the grill is more the thing...
Here's my eFatty, a Reid Tracker 2. It's my foul weather commuter as well as trail bike:
