oooh the winter fall. They hurt. I usually get one every winter. Usually at night on the patch pictured below.

Hope you heal up well.

My ride was windy. A steady NW wind of about 25 mph with occasional gusts to 40mph. The temp was about 16F (-8c)so the wind chill was way down there. My ride home was pretty much dead on into the wind so any exposed flesh was really noticeable. I face masked it but a little bit of my forehead got kind of cold and I didn't wear an underlayer (on my legs) because I had thick jeans on nor did I wear my bootie covers (I had those and rain/wind pants I could have put on but didn't really need them)- just a little chilly through the pants and the feet were just starting to get a little tingly in the toes by the time I got home. The 11 mile ride is normally 40 mins or less and tonight was quite a bit longer. Judging by the speed I was going and the effort it was taking to go that slow it was the equivalent of riding my road bike up an 11 mile up hill at around an average 7% grade.

I was surprised to see another bundled biker or two on the way home. We definitely greeted one another as members of the same odd clan.
