WOW! 35 degrees is just waaaay too cold to be riding a bike. We showed up at our first, unofficial training ride today. We had our leggings on, and we had ear covers, but we were completely unprepared for the cold. As we left our house in NE Portland, the sun was out and the wind was low. We figured we were in for a nice, if chilly, ride.
Not so much...as we drove west out of town toward the suburbs and our starting point, the fog settled in, thicker and denser than ever. Did I also mention it was cold?
We were just doing a short, 8-mile ride, nothing too hard, with a couple of short, steep hills. It was so cold, and so foggy that the fog was freezing on our eyebrows and eyelashes. That was pretty funny to see. I warmed up pretty well during our ride, but our feet and Sean's fingers were so cold...we went to the bike store that afternoon and bought some shoe covers and gloves with full fingers (our regular gloves are only half-fingers).
