Holy freakin crap! 0F, -20 windchill with a headwind out of the west at around 15mph, gusting to I AM A FREAKIN IDIOT TO BE RIDING TODAY mph. OK, I conceed...NOW it's FREAKIN COLD!

I was dressed ok for it though...Grumpy Old Men hat, balaclava, goggles, log sleeve wool base, 2 wool sweaters, Yellowjacket shell, wool long johns, patrol pants, thin and thick wool socks, Answer boots, glove liners and ski gloves.

Every car that passed me gave me a honk, two actually stopped and asked if I wanted a ride, everyone here at work is looking at me like I'm nuts (it's my first winter at this company).

Temps should be up near 20 for the ride home...and a tailwind.
