    Rode 19 miles today, giving me 3004 miles so far this year. 529 miles in October. 265 hours of riding, and about 1760 donuts burned. I'm never going to be able to eat back all those donuts.

    359.79 Total Miles for Oct.

    Might get in a 20 miles today.

    But good month considering the rain, late sun rise and early sun set.
    Oyea and 40 degree weather.
    But learning how to dress for cold.

    It is a life style change, now get on with your life.

    Cheers
    Jim

    Layers, layers, layers. I have my own rule of thumb...In the 40's, I wear 4 layers. Then I inversely add or subtract a layer depending on the temperature. So if it drops to the thirties, I do 5 layers, if it goes up to the 50's, I do three layers, 60's is two layers. It's an easy way to get dressed in the morning. And anyting below 50 I wear knee warmers, a hat that covers my ears, and good winter gloves.

    It's that time to set mileage goals for November.

    I should be back up to 1000 in November.

    Does someone want to start the thread?

    And for those that may have missed it, I set up the November Cycling Challenge at the link below:
