cold? not!

it's all in the layers. 0 F last night. fun ride. I did switch over
to the Nokian studded tires and wear my Sorels though.

Beats driving, even at midnight, in the woods, with a giant snotsickle
attached to my 'stache.

I wonder if Brent has been riding to work the last couple of days?

Rode my first really cold weather commute this morning. Think it
was a little below 20. Not too bad.

I should have pedaled in yesterday but wimped out because my ice
bike (Nokians and 20W headlight) isn't set up yet. But it seems
I wouldn't have needed it anyways.

Roads around here (W Mass/USA) are usually clear enough for road
tires a couple days after a storm.

Take the garbage out, this am, in your pj's while coffee is brewing,
and your hair is wet.

See if it still feels as fun.

Don't blame the weather. Obviously you need to drink coffee to engage
the brain before doing anything else, including bathing.

Of course you put the garbage out first before bathing. Duh.

The problem with making coffee is that sometimes one needs a minimal
level of brain function to get the proportions correct.

That's why man invented pots with timers, so you can set it up the evening
before.

..max has laid a nice guilt trip on me, though; I haven't been on the bike
since before Thanksgiving.

I suppose. Coffee tends to pick up odors, so I never put it out the
night before.

I don't blame the weather. I don't drink coffee, but rather diet
pepsi.

Or simply stay inside when it's cold outside. Which it is. Cold and
slippery.
