    Did about 20 min when I got home last night. Was a bit too chilly for what I wore.

    Trying to get use to the shifting. Start/stoping. I can feel my 'sit bones' this morning. which seems to be a good sign because I though I'd feel the pressure elsewhere....

    I think one of the keys to enjoying cycling is being comfortable. It might take a while to figure out what works for you in your particular climate and weather systems.

    If you stick with it you'll probably end up with a wardrobe of options including several different weights of tights, long underwear (steal from your ski clothes), several riding jackets/vests, several pairs of gloves for different conditions, etc.

    It sounds like it's still pretty cold where you are. Booties that slip over your shoes really help keep your toes warm. I wouldn't ride in the winter without them.

    I took a chance and ordered a couple different shorts off Amazon. Should be here for the weekend.
