I got up early this Sunday so I could ride in to support the Earth update. After Friday's feezing ride, I was cautious and wore my ski gloves along with a long sleeve shirt, earband, and booties with thick socks. No deer and plenty of sunlight make for a much more enjoyable ride. My hands were warm and toasty throughout.

After work, I realized exactly what the noise from my rear wheel was. I had a spoke with hardly any tension. It was rattling around. I took the wheel over to my office and put it in the truing stand and tightened it up. Before I tightened it, it was registering a zero on the tension meter.

After Jess picked me up, I went to Performance in search of winter clothing. I picked up a Louis Garneau windbreaker along with a cheap pair of winter gloves. Only time will tell how well they block the wind.
