New Year's Day bicycling in the cold.

I went for a 30+ mile bike ride on New Year Day. It was cold but good. My friend, Scott, gave me a cup of hot chocolate up in Lake Forest at his house. That was all that I needed.

The ride north was tough due to the wind being primarily out of the north. The temperature was ranging from 17 to 22 degrees fahrenheit. The ride home was a bit easier but the wind was dying because I didn't get home until just after sunset. Fortunately I have a tail light which is always attached to my bike and ready to be turned on. The ride home was easier but the temperature on my bike computer ranged from 9 to 17 degrees.

Happy New Year!
