We have been unbelievably fortunate in terms weather this "winter." Today when I went out about 2:00 into the abundant sunshine to ride, I was almost tempted to try for two round trips to Marsh Park. However, then I remembered that yesterday I had decided that 40° would be my threshold for a longer ride, and it was 39° when I started my ride, so I held back.
It didn't take very long, though, riding into the southerly breeze that brought the wind-chill down below 35° to convince me that the shorter ride was a very wise decision for today. I did this 10-mile ride in an easy 1 hour and 9 minutes, trouble-free, and never pushing for speed except just a little bit in the last half-hour. And while I was riding, the clouds moved in, so that the "abundant sunshine" was only a pleasant memory by the time I finished.
