Brrrr

Well, I just had to take a ride today. It was cold, but at least it wasn't raining. No time for photos, but it was a brisk and exhilarating little ride. I explored a few neighborhoods I hadn't visited before, and rode by the holly tree farm to see the lights they put up this time of year.

The bike ran well, I had some fun, and I discovered why those hard-core riders need leather chaps after October. My upper body was fine - a fleece, my jacket, helmet and thick gloves took care of that - but the legs were another story. Above 30 mph, the wind cut through my thick jeans like they weren't there. I've got to get something before those nice early spring days arrive and I want to go for some longer rides.
