Oh Cold Snap

dressing warmly on a bike
Brrrr! I hope that, like this lady, you didn't put away your winter coat.

I hear this is the last of the cold and we will resume our regularly scheduled springtime shortly. Here's hoping!

    I broke out the knee high boots and had to dig out a pair of light gloves. Fortunately I've lived in MA long enough not to put up my winter clothes until June!

    I like having an excuse to keep my wool out, actually. For a bit of time last week, I was afraid that the weather was getting too warm to wear the wool knickers comfortably.

    Cris, isn't that just enough reason to buy linen knickers?

    I got home from the office just in time this evening....it started to snow about 20 minutes later. Spring in Colorado.

    Jackson,
    That link is FANTASTIC! Thank you for sharing it. I have only read a few of the stories, but I'll go back tonight and read more. It's such a great feeling. Thank you!

    Charlotte - I would be in your debt if you could point me to linen knickers that can actually survive day-to-day cycling. Most of the linen pants that I've owned tend to tear prematurely around the saddle

    Hmmmm Cris, the only pair I've got were actually made for riding a horse, and have two (maybe more) layers around the saddle seat section.

    I will keep my eyes peeled for you.
