Conditions: 24F cloudy. 21-28MPH winds from the west.

Head: EMS Schoeller Alterra Beanie

Torso: cotton T under wool sweater under EMS Gunk Softshell (Schoeller WB-400)

Hands: EMS Gore Windstopper fleece gloves

Legs: Khakis

Feet: poly-blend socks and limited edition Vans Slayer old schools.

Goal: Get home from work, after working 16 hours. 3 miles of varying degrees of uphill.

Summary. Had to fight the wind, first from my left and then head on. My earlobes got a little cold since my beanie was rising up. I kicked the wind's ass despite running a fixed gear at 46x16. My face, earlobes and toes were a little chilly when I arrived home, but I was warm and dry otherwise. A small victory I will not soon forget.
