Winter arrives
Dec
13
Sunday night when I rode in to work it was 43(F) and I had a 15-35mph headwind. Not fun, but at least it wasn’t really cold too. By Monday morning, the temp had dropped to 29(F) and it was snowing. Thankfully I had a 20-30mph tailwind. It’s such an odd sensation when the wind closely matches your speed and direction, it’s like riding in a pocket of calm air (which is OK when it’s cold!), although the couple of stretches of the ride where I had to turn and ride across the wind were somewhat less than fun. Jack Frost nipping at your nose indeed!
