My new acquisition last night: Under Armour's cold gear compression shirt. That thing is awesome!
Yup- I had to hike-a-bike a few times in Falls Church on Monday, skipped riding yesterday, and today had to walk a few times again, though less so than Monday. Hoping for warm temps today so I can stay on my bike the whole way home tonight. (Monday was fun, as my light battery was dead by the time I got home due to the extra care and time it took.)
