Not long ago, I was riding in stifling heat. Today, it was just the opposite: bitter cold. The wind chill was 30º Fahrenheit when I left my house shortly after 11:00. It had risen to 36º by the time I returned, three hours later. I saw only one bicycle and one tricycle in 34.3 miles. If you're wondering whether I was cold, the answer is no. I was properly dressed for the conditions. The extra layers of clothing slowed me down, however. Instead of averaging 16 or 17 miles per hour, I averaged 14.83. Today's ride gives me 5,944.2 miles for the year. I need eight more rides—in 22 days—to break my all-time mileage record of 6,205.9 miles.
