Cold Ride

January 10th, 2007,

Our thermometer read 22 degrees (F) this morning, so I bundled up my daughter and myself and we biked in to her school. However, it felt colder than that outside. She weathered the ride fine in her trailer wearing her snowsuit and sitting under a blanket. I was generally OK too, wearing long underwear for the first time in a couple of weeks. My hands were fine in my mittens, but my toes, covered by a single layer of Smartwool dress socks and sitting inside hiking boots, were not. They’re still thawing out. Two layers on the toeses next time!
