oh, so that's why the ride home was like it was. just checked the weather page - -2C projected for later tonight, and already down to +1 while i was on my way home. good day to bring out last year's balaclava, which as it happens,i did do this morning. all the same, i was cold by the time i got to the bridge in my wool socks, balaclava and gloves. this early in the winter, just tights under my rain/wind pants isn't enough.

nice ride, both ways. definitely cold, which does have the advantage of keeping the sweat levels down. i'm just glad it wasn't raining as well.
