Winter 2015- who's still riding?

Traffic 'round these parts dropped off pretty dramatically a few weeks ago... hard to tell from the "I rode today" thread who's still riding, as one would have to conclude that Gene is the only one out there most days by reading it....

Who's sticking it out and plans to continue to ride pretty much every day regardless of weather?

I took 2 short Divvy trips at lunchtime. Didn't have much company out there in the Dearborn bike lane. That brrrisk wind reminded me that I need to keep a balaclava at the office for winter Divvy rides.

Think I'm going to venture on two wheels to my eye doctor in a few--it's only about a mile away so I'm thinking/hoping it won't be too bad!

Might be time for the goggles now, although once I got going the clear cycling glasses seemed to be working reasonably well. :-) I am always amazed at how much I like riding my bike when it is 20 degrees.

Brrr. Chilly riding the past two days. This year I am sporting some PI amfib tights though and they are definitely warm! They fit me terribly as they are not intended for tall and thin gals. The articulated knee bends about 2 inches above where it should! Still, absolutely worth it for me because the windblock fabric along the thighs and the light fleece interior makes them quite cozy.

Oh boy it looks to be a pretty cold morning ride to work at 8 degrees.... 9 miles isn't so bad right? Am I insane? My roommates think I'm retarded.

I took yesterday off but back at it today. Anyone else feel that winter riding takes a lot out of you. I feel drained after my 6 mile commute..assume it has something to do with the cold.
