Yeah, let's!

I usually don't get sucked in to responding to trolls.

In any case, looking forward to the ride home. Got my lights charged up and ready to go!

Don't forget to dress for a broad range of climatic conditions.

Wait!  I thought the question was whether I rode today.  I don't think it was whether I believe in climate change.

I did ride, as I said, and it was great, as I said! And I am going to ride home, too.  And it will be great.

Well of course.  Donning multiple layers just now.  If there is a sudden rise in temperature I can easily take off unnecessary layers!

just got home. Quite cold!  My hands were already cold though I wore my mid winter weight gloves. Balaclava would have helped.  For tomorrow:

1) Break out hard core Under Armor winter weather top

2)  Bring balaclava for ride home

3)  Game on bitches!

See this link for Toasty Hands.  In any discussion of what to have for winter riding, someone invariably talks about Bar Mitts.  They are wonderful for warm handed winter riding.

I did.

I put on my Bar Mitts this morning. My hands stayed warm with my Endura Thermo Roubaix Glove combo with the mitts. I am still getting used to the set up. I prefer to use my cross bar breaks over the others.

A nice crisp ride, and somehow traffic seemed lighter.  Are the drivers hibernating because it is so cold? :-)

Have not broken out the double mitten layer or the chemical hand warmers yet! Imagine how warm it is going to feel when it gets back up to 40!

I thought traffic was lighter yesterday and today both. I'll take it!

I did! Was passed by only four other people on LFT (from here on out it's almost exclusively people passing me, not me passing other folks). I tried one of those ninja face masks for the first time today but found that it made it really hard to breathe, plus my no-fog glasses kept fogging up. Otherwise, totally business as usual, just one more layer.

Auto traffic yesterday was a little crazy for me, but easy today.  Didn't see many other cyclists either day, and I locked up right in front of my building, even though I got in later than usual.
