It’s snot freezin’ cold

OK I admit it was cold riding around this AM. Perhaps the coldest morning all winter.
In deference to the temps, I opted for the Makers & Riders pants (which I had put away for the season), real ski gloves, as well as actually wearing my winter coat while biking.

The temperatures were variously reported as between -26 and -24°C; at any rate a record low for Feb. 13.

My last stop on my shopping this morning was to COCO Organic Chocolates on Jane St. I’ve switched to this store for my chocolate related needs since they have supported various bike projects in the neighbourhood, such as the Reading Line (check out their new website here), and Slow down Jane.

Check out these bike themed chocolates.
All set for tomorrow now.

Cutting through this lovely little laneway on the way home. I love the signage hanging off the back of Baby Point Hardware.

And the forecast for next weekend is positively balmy, just in time for Ice Cycle 2016!

on a side note: I could tell it was cold because the bungie cord on my Haul a Day that keeps the kickstand stowed wasn’t working so well. Also, I’ve going to have to do something about the inadequate fender coverage on the front part of the back wheel.
