The Cold Weather Has Arrived

October 14, 2009

Today was the first day I biked in weather below 50 this year. I guess it was about 45 degrees when I went out in the afternoon to bike. Luckily the wind was not blowing hard. I dressed properly. I had on tights, two layers of upper body clothes and a wind breaker. I was able to do without extra gloves and ear covers. If the weather is below 40, those are a must.

The ride today was a good one. Little traffic in the afternoon and without the wind, it was really relaxing. I am finding that doing 40 miles, about 2 1/2 hours, is a short easy ride. Two months ago I would have been thrilled to do 40 miles. Now it really is a short ride. How one's perspective changes as you change your goals and do the miles.
