It swings hard...

The temperature sure doesn't stay put here in STP.  This weekend's post was all about warmth, but today's bike commute returned to -15 windchills.  It's downright normal to see 60 degree swings in the "feels like" temp around here depending on the time of year.  Amazing.  And something else that's amazing is that I still manage to overheat biking in our low temps.  I can barely walk down the street in my regular clothes, but with the bike gear on and exerting energy, I almost always end up sweating, even well below zero.  Nuts.  
One more noteworthy cold weather cycling reference would be the Arrowhead 135, going on now.  Check it out.  Ride your bike.  Even if it's damn cold out.
