I actually thought I was feeling good enough to go for a ride this morning, but after checking the thermometer outside the house, those thoughts quickly disappeared.
It was 37°F outside the house, and 39°F at the airport. (We live in our own little micro climate close by a large park, where the temperature is always a few degrees colder than the surrounding area.)
40°F is my cut off point, below which I won’t go out on the bike. That’s just way too cold, especially when you consider I’m generating a 20 mph wind when I ride, making it feel a lot colder. And this isn’t even the (more…)

Or maybe it’s just our share of the TARP funds, and everyone will be receiving a similar amount shortly
