It was definitely a bit chilly when we started out. Felix's suggestion that we push the ride back to 10:00 am was popular with the group. In addition to Felix, the group included Gary, John, Martin, Paul, and me. We took the Skokie Valley Bikeway up to 176 and then headed over to Bluffington's for a mid ride stop. With the temperature warming up to the mid 20's under sunny skies, the return trip home turned into a surprisingly comfortable afternoon ride.
The most interesting discovery of the ride was learning how well the food service disposable poly gloves that John had purchased worked as glove liners. John used Gary and me as his test subjects. We learned that the poly gloves kept our hand almost as warm as latex and were much easier to slip gloves over.
What a difference a year makes. Felix noted that last year he only got in 3 rides during December due to all the snow. Today was his third December ride already this month and Sunday will be he fourth with three week still to go.
