I asked my doctor what "suboptimal" meant. The curt response was, "It doesn't work." Let me guess, your ride didn't go so well?

There was ice of the streets this morning, so this was my worst day of riding in the UK, since I moved here.

My doctor also said if it's "incorrect," it doesn't work either.

75 MPH? What? Do you have winter hurricanes or something?
I'm pretty well known for tackling tough weather. But I wouldn't-a gone out in that. Not on a bike.
You've got guts.
Still, I suppose fogging glasses weren't a problem.

In that kind of weather you're supposed to stay inside so you know, you don't die from falling trees & power lines.....
If i had to go out, i'd walk & try to stay well clear of tall trees & power lines.

fertility doctor told wifey & I we were subfertile and our chances of conceiving naturally were less than 0%. 2 & 3 years later we had two perfect kids naturally :-)
