-15°f. Got to break in the new thermals. Picked up a set of patagonia
capilene 3 base layers. They worked great, I did add a track jacket
under my ems jacket. Also I tried taping the the toe vents on my
cleats. With double socks my feet were pretty good. They still are my
trouble area. Maybe duct tape might work better than masking tape. The
ride home was warmer around 20°f. So I crusied around the hill then
went hill climbing around dogtown for a bit. Nothing better than
climbing hills on the K2 the 50lb beast commuter beast.

with temps hovering in the teens all day made for an interesting
commute. The streets were damp with melting ice and brine, calcium
cloride I believe. Leaving me speckeled with road grime. I've also
concluded I need dust tape or something to give me feet more wind
resistance. Warmth is no problem but sweaty feet with negative degree
wind chill leads to grumpy-pants-ness...

Day off, did a bit of urban hiking. Exploring around the hill's
deserted warehouses. Was a nice day to be outside. Fairly warm with
temps in the mid 50's. The next week is looking like a craptastic week
for weather. Freezing rain tonight should leave a sheet of ice over
everthing. Ga-ross and temps in the teens all day tomorrow, yeah good
stuff...

some adjusments on my fuji. Took off about 15:00 with temps just above
40°f. Had a good spin around the hill-> forest park -> tower grove.
Today was a mile stone I reached 3000 miles for the year. I think I
should try to double that for 2009. However 2 blocks from my house I
felt something weird with my right foot. I thought it may have been my
cleats, nope. Evidently my pedal loosened enough to wobble and
destroyed the threads. So I guess new crank arm / cranks / crankset are
in order...

Mild temps make for a great afternoon to watch the sunset, while
spinning around tower grove. Shameless promo I think not... New socks
worked well...although the real test will be sub freezing temps all day
long.

40° for the ride home. So I'm exteneding my ride home with a loop
around tower grove park. Which should give my work day commute a 15 mi
total. Which means if I only commute I should hit between 3100 & 3200
miles for the year. With my hours getting cut I might get a little
more fun time riding in. Although I might need some different glove
liners, no make the I do need them. As well as some better / warmer
socks.

was coming down but it was light. On my way home hooked into tower
grove as the sun was setting. The fountain at the reflecting pool was
still going. All geared up for the cold. Now back home...

Meant to take pictures but traffic was fairly heavy. So the only
pictures I took were from when I had just gotten back home. last winter
I only commuted & only a handful of fun time rides on the unusually warm
days. Hoping to change that this winter and keep up riding for
fun/distance and just not commuting. I think I'm set up for it except
the feet they were cold after the first hour, not numb but not the most
comfortable. Need to experiment with some different socks, or maybe
some different botties than the set I have.

I'm hungry...

pbbbtttt........ all I did was eat have a couple of beers and pass out
from being exhausted. I got almost no sleep the night before. Closing
the opening the next morning is not so bad if you get some sleep.
However I got like none. All because my body/brain decided against
it...

in north america. The visitors center had some mighty bronze doors. A
model village dominated the visitors center with a ton of anthropologic
displays. Watched an interesting historical (visitors informational)
video. Follewed by some exploration of the grounds, checking out the
smaller mounds. Then it was a climb up the 159 steps to the top of
monks mound. The mighty center piece to Cahokia mounds. As a sun based
society they had a solar calander, or woodhenge as they call it now.
The Woodhenge area was slighty depressing. It was seperated from
everything else plus because of a construction companies equipment yard
they only get to recreate, research 3/4 of the woodhenge area. But it
was a good saturday afternoon.
