1st cold commute for me today.

It was 34 in Montgomery AL this morning, about 10 degrees off from our normal over night lows for this time of year.

I was prepared- Leather shoes, air force issue boot socks, underarmor tights, Nashbar cargo pants (knickers), underarmor ss compression shirt, poly pro ls, and wind breaker. I bought a poly pro balaclava, but had to pull it down below my nose-- I was fogging my glasses.

The only thing that didn't work was the Nashbar full fingered gloves. Not good for mid 30s My fingers were in the painful stage by the time I finished my 6 mile commute. One I reach the base, I do a loop around the flight line for another 7 miles, but not today.

I was mostly warm and enjoyed the ride. Expecting about 61 degrees for the return home. Can't wait to get back on the bike!
