Commute

I commuted today. It wasn't that fun. Both legs it was about 28F with an insane 20-30mph wind whipping up WSW. I almost got stopped in my tracks climbing the little hill under the viaduct on Hill.  I don't want to live in South Dakota and have to ride when it's 28F with a wind chill much lower. I want to ride my bike in southern Spain where it's usually pretty warm. Or maybe Texas hill country. Is it regularly warm there? Africa (sans civil and tribal warfare)? 15 miles. I did it.

At least you did. That's what matters.

I had my lovely wife take me to work.

As of this moment, Fredericksburg, TX, in the heart (perhaps southernmost part) of the Texas hill country is 20 degrees F, with a windchill of 8 degrees.

But we are experiencing something a little unusual here lately.

Yea Dave, the commute took me by your house and I saw lights on. Figured you were getting ready for the Y. It was so windy that I can't say I enjoyed it. As for TX, Chris, that's just miserable.

I got up at 4:00 intending to go to the Y, but I felt horrible, and didn't go. I did stay up and do things around the house until my wife took me to work. That's why the lights were on.

I did ride today, but didn't go to the Y. It was 19F but felt crisp and dry. Not bad at all. Yesterday's wind is gone. I rode in my work clothes with a wool sweater, jacket, balaclava, hat, and gloves. I was comfortable enough.
