Afternoon Ride

A few pairs of bare knees out there 🤯

My ‘off-season’ is over?

All-road, some rain.

GBL: Prime dirt road season

Mostly Cloudy, -4.8°C, Feels like -9.4°C, Humidity 76%, Wind 12kph from W - by 

KIT NOTES: 
LIght SealSkinz waterproof socks, Lake MX145, Castelli Pioggia 3 booties, Polare 2 tights, Brynje fishnet polypro base, Icebreaker thin merino base, Cuore LS thermal jersey, Castelli Elemento Lite jacket, Castelli Spettacolo ROS glove, Craft lobster overmitts, Giro Ambient skull cap, Mad Alchemy neck thingy. 

Mostly sunny, some clouds, warmer start than Saturday. All pavement, moderate effort. Full stop at 60k in Old Chelsea for coffee. Lots of road spray. 

Results: 
- Warm core 100% of time with no significant wind penetration. No chilling, 💯 comfortable sitting in cafe at 60k. Dry at home - always a bonus when cleaning bike outside!
- Used wind skirt entire time 
- Warm legs 100% of duration. Tights took good amount of spray from front wheel, which was able to dry, didn't penetrate or run down into boots.
- Hands warm inside lobster shells to start, continued after Old Chelsea without them, put them back on, hard to whip hands enough to get them going again.
- Feet warm in general, cool for short period, good overall. Totally warm after csafe stop, good moisture level at end: low. 
- Very comfortable overall, only surprise being cold hands after cafe stop - easy to address.
