yesterdays chill was harsh as i had to don 2 layers of lighters gloves after having to wait for my train - the one that got derailed.  decided to ride home from wood dale instead of waiting.  the wind was brutal for some but for me it was an awesome tail wind.  a person that did wait for the train called me to let me know another train did come to pick folks up.  i caught up with that train in elmwood park.  by then, my feet were cold, so the heaters on the train felt nice.

this morning, i worked out my layers a bit better, and got the right gloves.

just a little bit colder, and i would have put on my goggles.  eyes kept tearing up.

Nice first ride in the COLD.

Yesterday was chilly, but today was one sweater, ear warmers and full finger gloves chilly.  I hope it snows tonight if we have to get precipitation.

feels like deja vu

Looks like I am going to be glad to have those rain pants on the ride home. :-)

I rode yesterday. I only mention it because I have a "new" bike, which I love so far. Oh, and it was a bit nippy going home with just shorts on my legs. Today I bailed.

Wishing I was as smart as you. My rain pants are sitting at home on the counter...

I brought my rain gear.  On my trip last week I found it stays waterproof for about two hours before it soaks through.  I ran into a hiker on the Appalachian Trail with the same jacket and the same issue.  But two hours is enough time to get home.  But I still hold out hope it will either be snow or be over by 5:30.

I'm sorry, this is the "I rode today" thread. Kindly see yourself out. :-)
