A hard north wind has been blowing cold air into Florida. I had the day off from work and intended on trying for a moderate length ride but as the day wore on the temperature failed to break fifty. Finally went out late in the day and debated whether to ride. On the one side I had a fifty degree temperature and a twenty mile an hour wind that occasionally would gust into the thirties. On the other side I had an out of shape body recently damaged by a steady diet of fast food and Christmas treats. Ended up putting on a hooded sweatshirt, windbreaker and a pair of long fingered gloves and headed back to the Lost Trail. Repeated yesterday's ride although it was far from pleasant today. Didn't think I would see anyone out on the trail today but was mistaken as it turned out there were a few bikers and a host of walkers. They all were bundled up much more than me and appeared to be preparing for an arctic blast. I was able to get the hood off during the tailwind sections as I was working up a sweat but got quite chilled on then headwind sections. Didn't do much other than burn off some calories today.
