Thanksgiving morning was just a short 10 or a bit more mile ride. Fairly chilly with temps around 10 and a 10 to 20 mph wind.
Today was much better - 20 miles and almost balmy at low to mid 20's. (I was actually overdressed.) Met list member Dan A. We've waived in the past, but this is the first time we'd spoken. That was a nice highlight of the day. Neither ride on the Riv, but did have MUSA pants on today along with the Sackville small on the bike. Yesterday added the MUSA Rainpants as added wind protection. And have discovered I can wear two layers under that (MUSA nylon pants and long johns). More versatility.
