it appears that winter has arrived. Time to order some winter
commuting tires and clothes. As it gets colder I realize I'm
missing one more piece of important clothing, I have yet to
figure out what works.
The long sleeve wool jersey. A cap under the helmet. Head band
to cover the ears. Thicker knit socks. Full finger gloves, then
'lobster mitt' gloves with liners. Cycling tights that lean a
little to close to the 'fat guy in a little jacket' look.
THEN IT RAINS!
Ok, now rain gear. Two days to dry out the shoes. The smartest
thing was packing freezer bags in the bag to protect the camera,
phone & papers. Rain pants to double duty with thermals for
slushy days. Then booties for the shoes. Every morning you find
one more thing that's been over looked. My need to simplify
has taken a couple steps backwards now with winter commuting.
