We lead a 40 person private bike tour last night!

I rode with Slow Roll today! Getting used to this cold stuff.

Decently long ride, toes got painful and saw less than half a dozen bikers.

Met some bike friends at the chess pavilion and rode down LFT to Bonjour Cafe on 55th. Don't get their large coffees. They are served in a mug like a cereal bowl! Excellent coffee, but small is enough. :-)

Had on my Chainlink winter jersey. Nice and toasty.

It's strange to get home and be both frosty cold and wildly thirsty.  Cold being pretty good at extracting moisture from the body.

Me, too, and one layer too many did not help!

Nothing like that first ride of the season wearing winter gear. Feels like I am towing a trailer full of bricks.

Just think about how much better shape you'll find yourself in come next spring. :-)

I rode in with both front and rear shifter frozen in place. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I am not complaining, but I was kind of shocked by how cold it was this morning. I was not expecting mid-teens this early! 

But you still took some really beautiful photos!

'Twas the only thing that reduced my frustration.

I forgot what it was like to ride in February.
