Riding out roll call: temp?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Winter finally arrived in CO and I couldn't be happier. Got out on Sat and it was about 37F but somehow managed some light snow fall. Was a really fun ride until I got yet another flat.

38F + 100%RH = FOG.

Which means 3 PB Superflashes, 1 on steady and 2 blinking. Got plenty of room, so I'm going to conclude that they do their job.

I don't ride when it's under 45 degrees, luckily it never gets that cold here(Phoenix, AZ).

It was ~40F whenever I started and finished this morning. Not too bad for this time of year.

I've been commuting to and from class this week at around -16°C (3°F), but my road bike is indoors on the trainer.
