Finally did a winter ride. I wore an under armor, my bib shorts, jersey, arm warmers, leg warmers, jacket, over-shoe covers and winter gloves and was fine. The feet warmers really work!
 
What temp do you consider a winter ride?

It's been in the 40's the last couple weeks when I've ridden, it's dark by the time I get home, but I have good lights.

Yeah it was totally fine I'd probably opt not to ride between 5-8 C

I'm good down to 38 degrees F (3.3 degrees C), after that you have the risk of ice, especially over road paint.

I did ride my motorcycle once in NH during a dry winter when I later found out it was 5 degrees F (-15 degrees C), that was rather unpleasant, every place that allowed the cold air to hit my skin felt like a knife was stabbing me. :laughing
 
Losing weight again but fitness seems to be steady. No appreciable muscle loss, I've just not been eating enough. I have a good breakfast and lunch but clearly need to healthy snack more. I get super hungry between 3:00 and dinner time
 
Here's my setup. Power rack, 260 lbs bumper plates, a hex bar, 2-40 lbs and 2-25 lbs kettle bells, resistance bands, and various assistance equipment. I got some Bowflex 552 adjustable dumbbells on their way sometime in February. I ordered this thing back in July and it came in late November. Was on the PPL routine for the longest time but switched to a 4 day upper / lower routine.

Did a trackday yesterday. I hadn't ridden a motorcycle in 481 days, so I expected the worst. Turns out I didn't forget a damn thing about riding and managed a new PR with ease on hard tires. I've never raced at Chuckwalla, so "a new PR" isn't that fast. But I was still a bit stoked.

However, the unloading the bike after sitting still for the 3hr drive and rolling out of the bed this morning were ROUGH. My cycling shape is near my best ever... but nearly everything is sore today. I think my biceps and hamstrings are the only muscles spared from soreness, tightness, and/or exhaustion :laughing. Now I have a new 'shape' to work on.
