The bike ride in wasn't too bad. Good gear had the torso relatively warm. Feet were frozen though, needed an extra pair of socks or something - dress socks and Blundstones didn't cut it. The Patagonia gloves I thought were going to be kickass didn't seem that warm at all, but when I took them off to work the bike locks I realized they're doing a pretty good job all things considered.
Calgary will get how many days at -40C? 4 days tops? Compare that with 8 weeks of rain in Vancouver? I'll take my medicine strong thanks....
Oooh the sun's out...
