25F this morning, no wind, and light traffic! Real nice ride. The fleece tights are superb for this kind of weather. Wore a new helmet cover, with the light weight hood and ear flaps -- nice and warm. Did get horned by a passing, beat up, pick up. He passed way to the left so don't know what that was about. Maybe the Whelan TIR III that I just wired up to the 12vSLA blinded him.

Last night was first trip in the dark, dark, with my DIY light system. It's worked well, but I think I'll be upgrading the battery. Can't run all 40 watts for mor then 20 min of the 1 hr trip. I was surprised to find that for most of the trip the flood is more useful then the spot. Not what I expected.
