7. Road salt accumulations on water bottle help maintain electrolytes during ride.
6. Dogs are in the house.
5. Can blame extra winter girth on layering.

I wrote this about 5 years ago, and may have published it in my blog before, but it seems appropriate to share it again now, with winter's grip at its strongest.
Saw the wafflers on their ride as I was heading over to meet up with Amy and Aaron. Not as much wind and, although our start temp was colder than yesterday, we finished our ride with 7 degrees. Not quite as much stinging going on.
Another beautifully frigid Minnesota winter day. Trails are in perfect winter riding condition. 32/12.7
Time for some hot chocolate, then this evening I'll be hanging out with Elijah.

I like your "top ten" list for riding, especially #6....dogs are in the house!
I hope you and Elijah had a great afternoon together.
enjoyed the ten, I told Teresa yesterday, "at least Tom doesn't have to worry about the rain"
