A post from last year, on February 16:
This morning's checklist:
Windpants
Tights
Bike shorts
polypropelyne shirt
second warmer shirt
lobster gloves
balaclava
goggles
jacket
Check the weather on the internet:
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM CST THIS
AFTERNOON.
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WILL COMBINE WITH ARCTIC AIR TO
CREATE WIND CHILL READINGS OF MINUS 30 TO MINUS 45 TODAY.
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL
COMBINE TO GENERATE VERY LOW WIND CHILLS. WEATHER CONDITIONS
TODAY WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND COULD LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF
PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.
Screw this. Drive.
Similar conditions this morning. Actual air temp of -16. I rode. Froze my ass.
Date: February 5
Mileage: 18
Ride type/Bike: Commute/Schwinn
February mileage: 54
Year to date mileage: 373

Well, at least you're getting older. Heh.
Try not to freeze off any fingers or toes, y'know? Sheesh. You *are* nuts.
You are my hero -- a very cold hero. Frigid Man!
Now that's what I call extreme bicycling. These guys out here jumping off cliff's have nothing on you. Cheers!
