I broke my record today. Rode in in -33c with a -47c windchill. I went to hop on my cross bike and the freehub was frozen solid (go figure its almost brand new). I was about to throw in the towel when I heard my old retired (read: bitter) neighbour snickering about my misfortune, that was all the motivation I needed to run downstairs and grab my fs mtb.

I had about two working gears and my chain popped off halfway through the ride, which gave me the opportunity to invent some seriously creative swearing combinations.

All in all, it wasn't too bad. I was really warm and as a result my fingers and toes stayed warm. Going home will be interesting if the wind doesn't die down, since it was at my back on the way in.
