Temps were pretty frosty again this morning. I felt pretty good with my current set-up; Wind pants (or warm-ups, or whatevah you call 'em out heah), polyester long sleeve mock-t, cotton long-sleeve mock-t, long sleeve shirt and my water-proof windbreaker. I also wear regular weight socks and my hiking boots along with the fleece balaclava. Add in my old shelled fleece gloves and I've been very comfortable.
Saw an old friend of mine on the ride in this morning. I said hello, but I'm not sure that he recognized me under my balaclava. This is the second or third time I've seen him on my ride, going the opposite direction. I see five or six other people riding every morning, and this is in the winter. It will be interesting to see how this spring and summer shapes up.
The trunk bag is working out well. It takes a little longer to get off the bike when using the panniers. Mostly, it is just getting down and unhooking the cords that keep the panniers from flopping about while riding. But I'm getting used to it. We'll see how I feel about it when it is pouring rain...
36 miles after the ride home.
