The Story
With Wisconsin deep in the grips of Old Man Winter, the actual temperature outside my window was -14 this morning.
If you are to believe the weatherman, the worst is yet to come! High temps of -7, low temps of -23 and wind chills of -52. Did I mention the snowstorm, a 'major snow event' targeting us for Monday as well?
Tired of feeling cold, I wanted to sweat today.
Therefore, I pulled on a long-sleeved base layer and a sweatshirt hoodie over that. By God I was going to feel warm today if it killed me.
It didn't.
Sweat?
You bet.
In fact, I even started the Carmichael in a stiffer gear than usual, meaning there was a little more effort required from my legs today. That is evidenced by the high average speed of 16.0 mph on this ride.
All is well.....on the bike that is.
This weather, that's a whole different story!
