A lesson refreshed during tonight’s ride is proper clothing selection. Since I am a temperature wimp proper clothing is essential. I chose a different jacket than usual and it was too light.

One good thing learned is eye covering. When it is cold (by my gauge anyway) my eyes water. I use sunglasses during the day but not at night. Last week I had a brainstorm to use clear protective glasses which wrap around the side. This is necessary since I wear glasses to see. I can report that while the rest of me was cold the eyes did not water one bit. Mission accomplished!

Tonight I rode my Raleigh M800 mountain bike as usual when it is dark. Lights ablaze and staying on the back streets makes for a safe ride. I rode 6.82 miles and the temperature was 58 degrees when I finished. Wind was not a factor. The charts. No cadence to report since I do not have the sensor on this bike.
