Cold but clear

After Saturday's disappointment (forecast: mid-50s, partly cloudy; reality: mid-40s, blowing rain) I managed to get in a short ride Sunday. The sky was absolutely clear but the wind was still swinging through NW/NE which means that not only was it a cold wind, but it was either a head wind or a quartering wind for much of the course.

Good ride, though. I elected to spin for much of the route. When it's cold it's hard to work up any enthusiasm for downhill runs because you know you'll just end up with tears in your ears from the frigid slipstream.
