    Ok, so I turned off my wimpitude meter and went for a short ride outdoors last night. It was 42F when I started. Couldn't let all you Northern US riders have the outdoor fun. I think that is about the lowest temperature I have ever started a ride.

    Don't think I'm going to set a goal for this month. It will just be weather permitting.

    1/05/16 - 6.23

    There ya go, good job! It is a pain to get motivated to ride in the cold but once you do it is such a good feeling. 40 was my low as I would never ride lower than that but this year I am pushing for higher miles so outdoors I go! So much more interesting than the bike on a trainer in the house.

    Saturday 2 January -- 52.06 km with 613 metres of climbing. Plus wind. Plus ... surprisingly chilly. My feet were quite cold when I got in. Plus 0.6 km walk to get shortbread cookie making supplies.

    Sunday 3 January -- 32.8 km!! And that brings 8 days in a row of cycling to an end. I was kind of hoping to do a flat route, and the first 20 km wasn't too bad, but then it got hilly. Oh well, I'm starting to get used to that. :grin:
    Plus 1 km walk.
