20*F this morning, snow and ice overnight.

New equipment today: Visorgogs (thanks to this forum and icebike for the suggestion, they're good), Nashbar 5-in-1 tube-o-polypro head cover thing, worn today as a balaclava. Bike Peddler mirror moved from glasses to helmet for the first time.

Stopped after about 2 miles to put on the balaclava. About 3/4 mile later, realized my mirror was off my helmet. Went back and found it lying in the snow. Not impressed with the mirror mount, at least not in the cold. The mount is still on the helmet but the mirror fell off it.

Not too bad speed, considering; I had a 13.9 MPH average, including a couple of minutes in a line of cars going 2 MPH at a bridge (I sometimes dodge this line but I have to merge back in to get under the very narrow bridge so on squirrelly days I just stay in line).

Lots of fun. Feels like I'm alive today.
