img_0449See how frosty the penguin is already? it’s just wrong for it to be this cold when we’re barely into the middle of October.

The mountains have snow and the leaves aren’t even off the trees yet. This week saw my first night ride in a long time. And I wore full winter tights and my shoe covers. My feet still froze. This weekend I need to round up the rest of the winter gear that I so eagerly packed away last, what was it, May? Time to lay in a stock of those chemical foot warmers. Time to face up to the many hours that I’m about to spend inside on that g*dd@##ed spin bike.
