i did my regular 5-mile commute on thursday, -12F, windchill -28F at 5:30am.
temps were about the same at 3pm for the ride home. i ended up ducttaping
"grabber" brand hand warmers and large leather welding gloves over the toes
of my boots. toes froze in the morning, were toasty in the afternoon. also,
my xenon strobes died after 10 minutes or so outside, but came back to life after
being inside for a while. led blinkies kept working. never had a derailler freeze up,
maybe its the wax-based chain lube i use. im looking forward to mondays relative
heatwave, supposed to be in the 20's, hafta dig up my sunscreen.
