Bike 10K OM/Rtown Standard Route

@15:37, 50°/9 mph wind/thin clouds/: 3rd fastest speed for 5-10M speed; Power PR for route

Supposed to be easy ride allowing going down to first gear; however, I went right right through trial limiting down to fourth. One hill dropped below 60 rpm, and stepped down to 3rd gear limit.

Trying out winter gear:

• Head: CB bike cap and purple head band:
• Lower cheeks and jaws a little bit biting, but not uncomfortable. Probably can tolerate indefinitely and for a little cooler temperature.
• Upper Body: Dark teal BRF ½ Marathon shirt, charcoal Celtic Solstice shirt, CB jacket.
• Very warm, maybe a bit too much, but not uncomfortable.
• Hands: Bike gloves, Castelli gloves.
• Very comfortably warm.
• Lower Body: Black light weight sweat pants
• On the cool side, but comfortable.
• Feet: Bike shoes, Kinetic socks, gold toe athletic socks.
• On the cool side, but comfortable.

Looked at a few articles about winter clothing. I think I'm good with what I have, but evaluate at each ride:

• Head: Use purple head band, balaclava and see how that goes, and maybe also bike cap. I can see maybe needing more at lowest temperatures.
• Upper Body: CB jacket, warm running shirt and light running shirt. Layers with different weight shirts can be added and combined.
• Lower Body: Try black sweats and leg warmers. I can see maybe needing to add more getting into the thirties.
• Feet: See how covers coming will work along with using athletic socks in addition to Kinetic socks.
