Chilly dawn ride on the fattie. Tested some new ideas in the cold. Dog poop bag around right foot as makeshift vapor barrier liner - definitely warmer than the "control" left foot. Both big toes are pretty chilly now that I'm inside, though. Also tried some thick fleece gloves inside the Bar Mitts, instead of my usual full-fingered MTB gloves. Nice and warm, and wicked away moisture beautifully, but the leather palm pad really didn't like being wrapped around the grips, and most of my fingers went numb unless I make a conscious effort to ride with a loose grip.

Another night loop. Sat in the dark by the outflow from the beaver dam and enjoyed the night sky. Trails are hard packed and rolling fast. Really liking my new Redshift suspension seatpost - hopefully my spine appreciates the smoother ride!
