At -1C with 30km/hr winds, it seemed like a good day to see how wind proof my winter bike stuff was.
I started with a tail wind to give my body a chance to warm up. North in a big figure eight around the river. There were quite a few frozen pools so I was a bit surprised by how slick a couple of spots exposed to the sun were.
On the way home I detoured to get a sample for Mrs from a new cup cake shop. It as a bit of a balancing act trying to keep them upright riding the 4km or so home into the wind.
I was plenty warm. The weather channel’s declaration of a -8C wind chill seemed about right for the coldest weather bike jacket I have. Colder will need a ski jacket.
