Low-Mid 20s, clear, no frost, minimal wind sunrise as I rolled up to the bikerack. Feet and head were too cold - headband over ears and one pair of cycling socks not enough. Legs marginal (long cycling tights). Trunk (long sleeve base layer, medium weight jersey, windproof jacket) was OK. Glad it's was just a 6 mile ride. For ride home, added leg warmers over tights, neoprene booties over cycling shoes, and a baklava instead of the headband. Felt almost too warm. Plus it was low 30s by then.

Thursday looks to be 21 deg in the morning and about 40 (balmy!) in the PM. Need to find my glove liners to go with my lobster mittens and I think I'll be OK with what I wore for the ride home (I hope).
