TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 3070.4
Today they were predicting rain to move in from the west about 9:30. I was able to get my ride started in dry conditions at 9:00. But when a cold, light sprinkle began drumming into my face after I reached Marsh Park and turned back toward home, that was all I needed to persuade me to limit it to a single round trip today.
It was a cold and slow ride, covering the 10 miles in 1:28,, at 40° when I began and 42° when I finished, making me rejoice, once again, over having had the foresight to wear my gloves. The coldest day on which I rode last winter was 18°, and, frankly, I don't now know quite how I did it ... presumably I'll be able to gradually build up to colder weather riding, though.
