The weather is finally nice again—sunny and in the 60’s! Even though I think I finally have all the necessary apparel to keep warm, I can’t wait to shed some layers in the spring. On the coldest mornings, I have on all of the following: arm warmers, jersey, fleece, wind-proof jacket, leg warmers, shorts, wool socks, shoe covers, gloves, headband over the ears, helmet, and sunglasses- and my toes are usually numb  regardless.

My favorite accessory is my pair of rain/winter long-fingered gloves. My teammates might make jokes about my hands looking like llama hooves, but they secretly wish their hands were as warm as mine! If it is below 60 degrees outside, I wear these:

Yesterday morning was our first team 40-mile ride. We headed south out of Austin and rode to Buda (about 20 miles), ate breakfast tacos, and then rode home. Here is the link to our route:

We had a great time! The ride home was especially nice because it had warmed up quite a bit and heading north on 1st street and through downtown we had a really cool view of the Austin skyline. It was also much flatter terrain than some of our East and North Austin adventures.

And tomorrow, we place the order for the 2010 team jersey!! I will post the design in my next update!

Happy Valentine's Day!
