Cold this morning, about 25 degrees when I left at 5:50. It was a 4-layer morning with: undershirt, long sleeve riding jersey, fleece vest, and shell. In addition, I wore my wool socks, long pants, and broke out the balaclava for the first time this year. Fortunately there was no headwind like yesterday and breathing the warm air through the bala kept my throat from hurting and staying irritated through the day as it did yesterday. Otherwise, I made good time and legs felt terrific (I was able to find just the right gear to spin in for 90% of the ride). This afternoon should be interesting with the possibility of rain/sleet/snow-we'll see.
