Transportation Cycles

It was a solid Jens Factor 3 day in Milwaukee today. 20-degrees and 10mph wind. I rode my Schlick Smitty and felt pretty good on the 11.5 mile, hour long ride.

My clothing choices worked well. A Smartwool medium jersey, a lightweight PolarFleece mid layer and an Alpenlite Shell. I was warm for the entire ride except for my toes which got a bit cold in the last 10 minutes or so. Today I tried a thin wool sock with a Polarfleece sock over the outside. I think it way just have been that my toes were a but stuffed into the Columbia Bugaboos. I am going back to a single, thick wool sock for the next ride.

My favorite piece of gear today? The Pearl Izumi balaclava!
