Euwwee it was not sunny in the river bottoms today. When you loose the acclimation to the cold it is a tough fight back. For the first fifteen or twenty minutes today everyone had the lets turn back face on. With the wind chill in the bottoms colder than everywhere else we were probably hovering around 10-15 degrees. Certainly not your ideal road bicycle weather.
Let me get to the point of todays message. When some part of your body is in trouble with the temperature. COMMUNICATE it to your fellow riders. Little LP suffers from little brother syndrome. He has to prove himself by hiding any weakness. Including not telling people his hands are about to fall off, or at least until they start to shake involuntarily so bad he can barely hold the handlebars.
Communicate. Only passive agressive old skool morons with an insistant need to put you down because of their own low self image steming from early childhood will think you are a wuss.

In your paragraph about Old Skool Morons, it reminds me of the saying "Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Perfect!
small fry.
You got to understand that for us younger riders that it's hard to not try and prove that your not a wimp. This is especially true around much better riders than ourselves, and in Lukes case his brother.
I understand perfectly Austin. I was younger before I got older.
