not so cold

out at 9:30 in at 10:30. too short, i know, intensive training starts november 27th. working my way back into road biking, fit may need some adjustment. overall a good ride

heavier mittens and water bottles next to the body. i get the feeling that dehydration in 'wintery' weather may be more of a factor, had bad cottonmouth by the end. little wind on a few sections, need to reconsider routes, into the wind going out and tailwind coming back in is the key to staying warm i think. all this will become second nature by december. do i re-post the countdown to event? probably not.

weather: 33 cloudy sse wind 10-15mph
