It was 43 degrees on this morning's ride! Even with full finger gloves, the hands are cold. I had on a long sleeve jersey, a visibility colored wind breaker, tights over shorts, full finger gloves - and it was cold! It still wasn't a lot of fun. I still have a little Chicago conditioning left, too. It was worse for my Californian born and bred wife. She was complaining about cold feet as well. Looks like we will have to get some of those hood things and maybe the booty things for her. And maybe insulated gloves. *sigh*

If any of my Chicago friends had said they expected me to get up and on a bike before dawn in 40 degree weather after I moved to California, I would have laughed at them. Maybe the absence of daylight savings time will help.
