Around 40, raining heavy enough to flood the roads and checked the headwind at the weather station at the mid way point and it was 50mph. Thank goodness it was a tail wind home. 20 miles and I was soaked.

It's been in the low 30s here, so I ordered rollers early this week. They came Thu. and I've been riding 'em every day since. I must be excited to master them, b/c I passed up on riding outside on a 43 deg. sunny day in order to roller away in the basement. That's a veritable heat-wave 'round these parts in Dec.
My first winter riding the bike, and I have to admit, I don''t enjoy it much below the low 40s. I can manage it, but I just long for that feeling of open-ness you get with lighter clothing and clearer roads.
However, I really do enjoy riding in the 40s -- it's a diff't animal from the 60s and 70's, but I like it.

I think I got a touch of heat exhaustion today. I wasn't feeling so good the last few miles of my 70-miler today after it made it over 80 F.
