Usually I make it to Thanksgiving before resorting to two layers of clothing on the legs and three on the upper body. Not this year. After experiencing a brisk ride home in shorts on Tuesday evening into a driving head wind mixed with sleet and snow, I've been layering it up in the morning. 25F this morning, actually feels good when you are appropriately dressed. A few of us are still riding, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ah5uEZzUBf-udEVBOEtPYW9WM2tNVndHRFltMTBucUE&gid=8 . 

A sobering piece in the NYtimes this week: 


http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/opinion/sunday/is-it-ok-to-kill-cyclists.html?_r=0 
The antidote to that piece you might want to read: 


    * http://www.amazon.com/The-Immortal-Class-Messengers-Human/dp/0375760245 
    * http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Cyclist-Adventurer-Mysterious-Disappearance-ebook/dp/B003TXT5FQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1384477733&sr=1-1&keywords=lost+cyclist 


Actually, not really an antidote, since cyclists end up dead in both books. Still, well written books about cycling in two different eras and cultures. 


Peace,
