Just put in right effort to moderate my temp and get the blood pumping. Left after 20:00 with little wind. I'm door to door in under 10 mins going the direct way.<BR/><BR/>What puts me behind is not allowing time to make/take food in my camelbak.<BR/><BR/>Other than work clothes, I wear armwarmers (b/c ss workshirt), vohler thermal jacket, amfib gloves inside wool mits, shimano winter boots, pi balaclava, prescription bike glasses, and helmet. I have a pair of shoes at work.dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715808669075015981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-65178365779356272612008-02-12T10:04:00.000-06:002008-02-12T10:04:00.000-06:00Mike, I know what you mean.

I had to run back in the house about 4 times to get things and I still forgot my iPod. <BR/><BR/>Lately I've just started leaving everything in my messenger bag. Then, when I need to drive my car somewhere I just bring my bag. I still have to track down my helmet and shoes though.T-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219036187623470989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-79123113779465247182008-02-11T23:06:00.000-06:002008-02-11T23:06:00.000-06:00I've been growing a beard and it felt like I had v...I've been growing a beard and it felt like I had velcro all over my face. I only wore a balaclava so my face was exposed from bottom of cycling glasses to lower lip. I was sweating by the time I got to work since I was well covered otherwise, but man, riding when it's that cold seems like you're in slow motion. Just hard to have any get up and go in traffic.<BR/><BR/>Great job on the full week of commuting, by the way. Once you get the routine, it'll seem weird not to go thru the motions. I forget stuff if I don't ride. Each pocket of my jersey/pants carries specific stuff. When I drive, I usually have to run back in the house a couple times since I forget stuff.munsonedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878330049549526023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-44282922996759964012008-02-11T12:30:00.000-06:002008-02-11T12:30:00.000-06:00Yea, goggles are a must if you don't want frozen e...Yea, goggles are a must if you don't want frozen eyeballs. <BR/><BR/>Don't feel bad, tomorrow is another (cold) day.T-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219036187623470989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-3809220316484924772008-02-11T10:29:00.000-06:002008-02-11T10:29:00.000-06:00Now I feel bad that I wimped out this morning.
