Since it was so warm out I just decided to go for the ride today. I got home detached my trainer that I rarely use and headed out the door in a outfit that was insufficient for the weather. As I headed down Locust to Lake to go north I began to remember why I hate the cold so much. I contemplated about going back to get warmer cloths, but decided to tough it out instead. After arriving at Concordia I realized that I needed booties and booty, so I picked up the pace to going home. My hands began to go numb around Doctor's Park and my toes had been numb since the first pass.
At about Bayshore my lack of winter training really caught up to me. I was struggling keep a simple pace, but at the same was so happy to get that feeling back. Hopefully it stays like this for the whole weekend if not warmer so I can sneak out for a quick ride on Sunday, but I will keep in mind it is still February.
My toes felt like they were frozen in ice and to go along with this I could barley move them. It was so bad I was walking funny too. Totally worth it!
My hands were swollen and when they started to get warm again it was an extremely odd feeling, but the ride was still worth it.
I really wanted booties at this point!
The snow made it seem a lot colder than it probably was.
The Proof!

last pic is great. I'm down for a ride on sunday after 11:30.
man I miss riding with you boys. But sadly I would drop you both like my ex girlfriend.
I picked up a pair of louis GARRRNO booties that are really the bee's knees.
On Saturday some old dude came up on me like a hawk riding a litespeed. He dropped me like no one's business. Relation to you?
