Today I again waited and rode at noon—I guess I have to conclude that this is becoming the new 'normal' for this time of year, despite my great fondness for mornings. And thankfully I remembered to wear a hoodie—but nothing either underneath it or over it. And this garb was insufficient for a cold (44°), windy (from the west at 19 mph, gusting to 28) day, despite the most welcome brilliant sunshine. Consequently, I cut my ride down once again today, and did a single round trip to Marsh Park, completing the 9.5 miles in 55 minutes, despite having to fight my way into the wind on the first half of the way back from the park.
Worse weather is coming, though! Tomorrow morning we're supposed to get snow, and I am hoping to bundle up and do a short ride in it (one round trip will be all I'll aim for), while monitoring the conditions, ready to wheel around and head back home if riding seems inadvisable.
