Disclaimer: I never claimed I'm not an idiot.
It is 22.5 degrees outside my house. My car is currently not working, some sort of oil issue. Basically, I put oil in the engine and it ends up on the ground in about 1-2 minutes. Translation, it's me, the road bike, and all of 22 and one-half degrees.
I'm going to set sail in 10-15 minutes and try to stay out for 3 hours. There is currently no visible wind blowing the trees around out there but they say it's coming.
I should also note that my trusty Craft base layer had to be sent back because a thread in the sleeve started pulling. So I'm without one of my basic cold weather fighting tools.
I'm bringing the foot warmers to help the hands.
My goal is 2 hours.
My level of confidence is low. One reason I'm posting this is to talk myself into staying out longer. The other is that the longer this post goes, the more it delays me going out into that abyss.
Place your bets. How long can I last? I won't log back in until after lunch or maybe later. So you have all morning to try and guess.
