Wow. I think this was the coldest its been ever, like in the history of the earth. I rode to work this morning, listening to the Ruins, basically pumping my legs for dear life, just trying to generate enough heat to keep from freezing to death and falling off my bike. I got to work in record time, I think like 17 minutes, and just sat at my desk for fifteen minutes without moving at all. I didn't even take my helmet off.
It was even worse on the way home, because it was much, much windier and there was no sun for me to pretend I was being warmed up a little. My legs were on fire both from the exertion of riding so hard and from winburn. When I got home I burrowed under eight blankets and passed out.
When I woke up, my legs were still cold, but I felt like a hundred bucks!
