A good rule of thumb when preparing for a cold weather ride is to start off just a little cold, because after about 10 minutes of pedaling, you'll warm up quite nicely. If you overdress, overheating can be uncomfortable, so you may have to experiment a little before you get it right.
First round trip commute in 1.5 years! Feels good to be back on the bike finally!
As day #1 of 30 days in April, I rode my bike to lunch at The Cheese Box for the best beef brisket I've had. Ever. So my plan is to ride at least once a day for this month - could be a long ride, could be a quick errand here and there. I filled out the pledge to make it official. If you want to join me, here's the information:

It's a bit of a trip from Chicago. This is in Lake Geneva. The Cheese Box does brisket as an occasional special. It was SO good!
