Me and a few other guys rolled out to Anne Springs in Fort Mill to get in a ride. According to the weather report it was going to be cold. So I dug out the bibs, face sock and new spiffy winter gloves the wife got me for Christmas and rolled out to meet the guys for the ride.
For the most part it did not feel so bad and I was nice and toasty, but my feet did get cold and half way through the ride the toes felt like they had frozen together and ached! We ended up calling it after one ride and went to some taco joint for lunch.
Back home, I was searching the web for some kind of gear to help keep my feet warm and came across the www.icebike.com website, that lead me to another web search, that landed me on the the New York Times article "Sport Meets Survival: An Iditarod Without Dogs".
Really enjoyed the article and video coverage! Now I'm questioning my definition of what it means to be cold... obviously I have no idea! I'm completely impressed with the determination and will power it must take to consider entering the Iditarod Trail Invitational, let alone finish it!
And I thought it was cold here in Charlotte today!
