River, just me, the Canada geese and and a smattering of Mallard ducks.
Cold weather riding is a snap, as long as you layer your clothes and pay attention to fingers and
toesies.
And maybe pack some Kleenex for the inevitable runny nose. Although at aound the freezing mark, I
seem to become acclimated after half an hour's riding (I don't often get to experience temperatures
much below freezing.)

Vitamin D indeed is wonderful stuff. And getting back home, out of the cold, apres-ride indulgences
are all the more pleasurable and well-earned. Even if it's just a cup o' tea or two, and a bunch of
McVitie's ginger snaps. Or a highball-sized B52. Or a bowl of homemade minestrone.
I've just finished a stint of home-office work. I found myself feeling generally cold all the time,
just from sedentarily sitting at the desk all day. Now that I can get some rides in again, I'm
feeling much warmer now.

At 16 F (-9 C), I bet there was :-)
