Well winter is surely here when the shoe covers, arm warmers, gloves and wind jackets come out of the ole kit bag and bicycling becomes a bit more of a winter sport than anyone desires. There is actually nothing better than a unseasonably mild and calm winter day to stretch out some miles, but those are the days you enjoy but never remember years later. The days where over heating is never a problem and the layering system works wonders.
It's more likely you'll recall the briskly brutal wind blowing rainy days that leave your feet feeling like solid blocks of ice and your nose running like you just finished a two week cocaine binge in the middle of a hay fever lab experiment.
Any even semi-dedicated cyclist knows exactly what I'm talking about.
And low and behold that season is upon is....so what the hell.....grab hold of it with gusto, try to avoid driving headlong through any swirling fallen leaf water spouts and above all watch out for slimy piles of wet leaves. You don't want to do an Omar.

You know what goes well with Cold Cycling? Cold Filtered Miller Genuine Draft, or Frost Brewed Coors Light... I wonder if Miller Chill is frost brewed too? Thank the beer and cycling gods you live in California, eh?
Cold is ok as long as its not uber cold. Wet sucks. The only thing worse than wet is cold and wet. I guess you could compare it to drinking a bud as it totally blows.
Shoe covers rock. Right up there with thermos as greatest invention ever.
