Same here, no temperature cut off

I rode...no temperature cut off for me...

This morning was pretty slick on the LFP (From Lawrence to Northish) with the sleet and all, but the streets were fine. Getting sick of winter and wearing that damn Balaclava. Anyone know if the LFP is still slick or just wet? 

Heads up, LFP riders.  There is a gale warning in effect tonight into tomorrow night with waves up to 20 feet.  Be careful out there!

Made it home unscathed tonight. 

I have had no temp cutoff in five years. Ice is the only krytonite. However, I am totally ready for 60+ degrees!

Yes, ugggh...

Fierce headwinds and cold only when compared to recent days. Headwind the entire time west kept me going slow. Wind pushed me side to side a few times. Be careful out there.

Arg, I've been stalling....but I'm about to leave and start my 16 mile ride. How can I resist the sun? It's just so beautiful. 

Wind mostly behind me except for the times it swirled all around and hit me sideways and then in the front.  Not a bad ride, but for me, the ride home promises to be quite miserable.  I hate wind!

I am fine--Spence and Derek, how are the hands?  Are you able to ride?

Switched back to the winter coat for today's ride ... glad I did.

For more bike ride photos from today when my rear derailleur cable froze to give me one unchangeable gear, click here.

fell hard enough to break a few bones in my inner hand, i'm assuming from catching my weight on a single 1" piece of metal on the palm vs distributing the weight over a non mesh surface.  I have a cast on, typing one handed and will be off the bike for at least a month.  I'm really wishing I had asked for painkillers in the ER. It hurts a lot more now that shock wore off.
