Since I am a temperature wimp proper clothing is essential. I chose a different jacket than usual and it was too light.<\/p>\n<p>One good thing learned is eye covering. When it is cold (by my gauge anyway) my eyes water. I use sunglasses during the day but not at night. Last week I had a brainstorm to use clear protective glasses which wrap around the side. This is necessary since I wear glasses to see. I can report that while the rest of me was cold the eyes did not water one bit. Mission accomplished!<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I rode my Raleigh M800 mountain bike as usual when it is dark. Lights ablaze and staying on the back streets makes for a safe ride. I rode 6.82 miles and the temperature was 58 degrees when I finished. Wind was not a factor. The charts. No cadence to report since I do not have the sensor on this bike.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3688\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Route-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3688\" data-attachment-id=\"3688\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2010\/01\/26\/short-ride-tonight-proper-clothing-is-important\/route-kingwood-1-26-2010\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Route-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg?fit=800%2C460&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,460\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Route Kingwood 1-26-2010\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Route January 26&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Route-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg?fit=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Route-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg?fit=800%2C460&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3688\" title=\"Route Kingwood 1-26-2010\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Route-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg?resize=800%2C460\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Route-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Route-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Route January 26<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3689\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Speed-Distance-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3689\" data-attachment-id=\"3689\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2010\/01\/26\/short-ride-tonight-proper-clothing-is-important\/speed-distance-kingwood-1-26-2010\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Speed-Distance-Kingwood-1-26-2010.jpg?fit=800%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Speed &amp;#8211;
