I never do more than 14km in the winter, but in some horrific weather, socks on socks on socks. Block the wind.

I'll have to try out those toe warmer things, might just double sock it to see if that works since I hate spending money on riding bikes.

Last night after some heavy drinking, me and the roommate decided to learn how to do bar spins since we both have risers currently and well, I landed one and he landed like five but we had a bigger failure rate than success, then today I took the MTB out to find some trails around the house and came up empty. Oh well.

Layering socks also cuts off circulation which will actually make you colder.

My usual circle of friends is in Vegas this weekend (I hate having older friends (3 more months chyea)), so I caught up with a buddy from high school over a bottle of Kraken.

It was cool.

Today I actually reached my mileage goal for the year. Not bad considering I missed 3 1/2 months.

7,000 miles. Mileage goal was lower this year than previous years due to more mtb goals.
