I realized a couple blocks out that I forgot my goggles today. It wasn't a problem. It was a pleasant ride - though it's cold, the sun is out!

Trying to muscle up the courage to get in the bike today. If you biked in today, tell me how awesome you felt when you got in. I need some inspiration today to put on layers and not hop in the train ( which takes the same amount of time anyways).

Do I need goggles? I don't have any now.

As far as goggles, go... as in ski goggles, I want to emphasize how nicely they block the cold air.  Sunglasses, IMO, don't even compare to the absolute domination of the SKI GOGGLE. 

I lost my balaclava so I've cut back my riding. I did ride at 10 pm last night and my God it was cold.  Impressed with you all staying  at it.

Makes no difference, David, what camera you used; 'tis a very nice photo. Keep 'em coming.

Waning crescent moon and Venus over Baha'i.   This is why one rides all winter.  Yes.   (Best I could get with my camera phone).  

 

Because you get to see stuff like this, Julie.

Julie, wear your chainlink jersey as your middle layer! 

Never have I felt so warm and cozy in zero degree weather.

Soo ready for weather to be a bit warmer!

Am I losing my marbles or did those wind gusts feel a little warm? I mean, they almost blew me over but they didn't seem cold to me.
Gotta admit...tired of all this cold weather riding. Nevertheless, I keep on pedaling.

Truly awful ride home tonight.

I imagine I rode home earlier than you. It was still sunny when I rode, but it was pretty windy. Thankfully, my route is more north/south than east/west. Riding west this evening would have really sucked.

I left work around 6 and was going north. Just bitterly cold and windy. I was exhausted by the time I got home.
