It wasn’t a good week for riding. The weather was way too cold to ride in the morning. I rode after work with all the rush hour traffic. I prefer the dark to quiet roads. And my weekend rides were a bit shorter because I need to get ready for Christmas.

I only changed my shoes for boots and my sweater for a fleece jacket. I put on hat and gloves. It is cold! My jeans slide on my saddle. I rode down to BBD to Starbucks for  Hot Peppermint Cocoa. I thought about buying some to make at home but they don't have any! 
The cocoa was good and hot. The ride home was cold.
