I did the team ride this morning. It was COLD. There were only 6 of us -- and we lost one to metra on the way up [she's new and didn't have warm enough gear for her feet. Actually, she was wearing sneakers and had cages on her pedals]. Did I mention that it was COLD? It was cold. Temperature was about 19 degrees when I left the house, and I could have used another layer. But once we got going, I was fine.

My fitness has declined. I know its supposed to in the off-season, but I hate it.
