Winter Part 2 (the part when I ride)

Today turned out to be much nicer.  Still cold (40 degrees) and a little breezy, but dry and the sun was out.  I took advantage of a slow schedule and did a nice loop the included Scenic, Red Bud, Westlake, and Toro Canyon.

A list of what I wore:
  • midweight long-sleeved shirt
  • long-sleeved winter jersey
  • lightweight jacket
  • bib shorts
  • full leg warmers
  • wool socks
  • wool hat
  • neck gaiter
  • winter gloves
  • shoe covers
I was comfortable (maybe a little overdressed for the climbs, but grateful for the jacket in the wind).  It always surprises me when the water in my bottle is cold.  I guess I'm just conditioned to expect lukewarm to hot water when I'm riding.
