I haven't been moving my cycling stats into my database for the last couple of months. I'm back-filling it all now, to find out what my mileage looks like. I've only ridden twice in December: once on the first, and again on this past Saturday. Might go out again today. Short rides now, just 25 miles or less.

I need an egg warmer, my head was really cold on Saturday. If I ride today, I'm going to pick up an under-the-helmet hood to keep the wind off my noggin. Should wear three pair of socks, too. Wearing only two on Saturday was a mistake, I thought my toes were going to fall off.

Update: now that I've caught up on all of my stats, I see this ride put me over 5,000 miles for the year! That's my third and final goal for the year (lowest weight since I started tracking it a few years ago, 100+ rides, and 5000+ miles).

Stats: 25.06 miles (40.34 km) in 1h 18' 46" for an average speed of 19.08 mph (30.73 kph).

What was the temp when you rode? Have you tried those neoprene booties? They stop the wind, which helps
