I'm getting better at riding in the winter.
Rode 20 miles today and did not get cold feet.
Wool socks and work boots with foot covers did the trick this time.
My right foot got a little cold but nothing like the past 4 times.
I'm thinking I need plastic bags on my socks?
I did manage to stay a lot warmer though!
Great commute to the office this morning with the tailwind. Definitely savored it, because I don't know the next time Chiberia is going to enjoy 30 degree weather.
Yep. Nice Divvy commute.
Agreed. Easy ride in. May be my last in a few days.

LFP was heavily salted and clear. Did not see another cyclist on it for the whole 8 miles I rode this morning. I am disappointed that it may be snowing for the Winter Bike to Work event tomorrow downtown. It may be worth the snowy ride for cheesecake and coffee though.
First I've heard of it...anything special I should know?

Saw just two other cyclists on my @ 8 mile commute between Edgewater and downtown (via the LFP) - seemed (relatively) mild too (probably partly due to a combination of tail wind and more winter layers than I really needed).

A little snow and negative wind chill will make coffee and cheesecake that much more enjoyable tomorrow morning! :)
