No snow since the first bit melted, but we are in for winter temperatures starting next Tuesday. Daytime highs around -10C going forward. Time to switch over to my winter boots. I'm surprised I've been able to get by with just show (er shoe) covers until now.

I had a long sleeve 260 weight Icebreaker shirt in my closet for years. I considered it "too good" for cycling, but since it wasn't getting used I figured it might as well become cycling gear. Its been nice to wear, though I'd prefer a higher neck. Noticeable improvement over my other base layers particularly when heading into a strong wind where my jacket is blown snug against me. A testament to wool being much less compressible that synthetics. Gloves in particular, the palm side insulation gets squeezed flat when grabbing the handlebars.
