It’s the same old question again: IS this December?

It certainly doesn’t feel like it today. Day before yesterday, at least, it was cold in the morning; and I had to cut my ride short because I couldn’t get warm. What a feeble start to Winter Wheelers!

Yesterday it was a good bit warmer; and today feels more like May than Christmas coming. It was foggy in the morning; and I got rather hot riding to and from the salvage store. More fog is in the forecast for tomorrow morning; and it’s going to be warm for at least a few more days.

In a way I’m glad, because knowing it’s warm means less guessing about how many layers I need for a ride. At the same time, this just doesn’t feel right for the season. So, is it December, or not? Same old question!

I’m thinking about tomorrow’s ride. A low of 64 degrees tonight means I’ll probably want leg warmers. I’d rather be a bit too warm than not warm enough! I think I’ll be able to get away with half-fingered gloves; and that’s a good thing. The fingers of my full-fingered gloves are really a bit too long; and tend to snag my “feed bag“. Then I wind up spilling my food!

I hope to get in more than 29 miles tomorrow. I’ve met my mileage goal for the year; but that doesn’t stop me from being a mileage hog.
