and it is supposed to be in the mid-seventies tomorrow, too. Time to brave getting killed by the hunters and go for a ride!

Are you kidding? We are supposed to get freezing rain and snow mix today and tomorrow! Winter ice warning for the next 24 hrs! I was thinking about puting my studded snows on and riding to work tomorrow. I have to ride in traffic and I think about the safety. I rode to work in the last snow storm we had. It was really fun. It took a while because of the crazy drivers, but it was fun.
70s in Texas? Sounds like great weather. Wear Blaze Orange and...Ride, ride, ride!

As a fellow who considers himself unlucky, I am comfortable saying that I caught a HUGE break with this hot weather we're getting around here. 60-65 degrees in early January? I picked a great winter to commit to riding full-time.
I packed on a good deal of weight during the last two winters. So far since December 1st, I've lost seven pounds. I'm concerned that I might be dropping weight _too_ fast. Just riding five days a week consistently. Base too. Nothing fancy about it. Took a day off Sunday. Went out yesterday and felt as strong as a bull. It's been a great way to get the year started.

It's great props when someone stares incredulously as you go by - or asks if it's cold and you say it's just right - or too warm!

Today it got to 74F here in Charlotte. I rode to the bus station in t-shirt and jeans. I saw people at the station in full winter garb!! What is up with that???

EDIT: Oh, well, the high today will be 78 again but tomorrow the high is supposed to be only 38. Got to love these east Texas winters!
