Got dressed and rolled out the house while the sun was shining. Rid myself from the studded tires and rolled with the 1x1. I was able to ride 30 miles in about 2hrs 15 minutes. The wind was out of the nw and cutting my face. I opted for the windproof fleece, craft windstopper undershirt and secret moisture control device. Two layers and I was fine. Wool craft longjohns and craft storm tights. Feet were cold as usual. Felt great coming home with a tailwind.

Tomorrow it is time to commute.

best,
