65 miles for the first week of 2018 in the deep freeze.

My first ride above freezing temps this morning was interrupted by a flat.

fixing flats in the cold is the worst. i remember once i couldn't do it with my gloves on so i took them off and then after a minute i could barely move my fingers.

Fixing flats in freezing and sub-freezing temps is the primary reason I transition to my mountain bike -- willing to sacrifice speed (already slowed by lower temps as discussed at length in a thread here last year) for less flats. Well, that and I am more willing to subject my old messenger steed to the insults of winter's salty ice soup.

3 miles for the year, and 2 trips(1 that was 2 miles(and I broke that trip up with a brief running inside an ATM to warm up), and another short trip that was 1 mile)? Sigh, I wish I wasn't so much of a wuss for biking in this weather. I keep trying to see what might work, as far as layering up and not feeling like I'm going to die of coldness by the time I arrive at my destination. Maybe someday, I'll finally find some warm clothes solution that works for temps in the teens and especially below....

About 12 miles. last weekend I finally rode to an errand on Saturday and another on Sunday wearing goggles. The cold has not deterred me as much as icy streets.
