I don't handle the cold too well anymore.
I used to be a friggin' viking. I once rode a bike 7 miles to work at 11pm at 29°F and home again at 7am at 19°F!! At the time I thought that that chilly ride to work was "invigorating" and honestly, I did think that the ride home was cold cold cold, but I still took it on and enjoyed it.
Now, 25 years later, after a radiation blasted pituitary, after blood pressure pills, after just getting older, I can't handle it.
Looks like a perfectly good excuse to go out this weekend and buy leather Chaps/Trou, a Jacket and some gauntlet gloves.
After all, it might give me two weeks more riding time!
