It looked very warm in Koksijde for the world's greatest CX course full of sand. Can't we have a bit of that now? I rode to Skatås on the MTB just to actually see if I could stand this cold. After only 30 minutes I was completely frozen in every part of my body except my legs (windproof ski pants). I have never needed to buy any winter clothes for the bike and it doesn't matter how many layers I pile on. This was very unpleasant. This is metal-cracking temperature. I had stopped taking my allergy medicine but what I just felt is on the way to an asthma attack. Bad news.

Tomorrow we have Göteborgs Superprestige or Introcross at 10.00 but I will see what I do about that. I may just make a quick stop on my MTB for socializing. Unless tomorrow the UCI will allow my slightly wider than 32mm MTB tires and brakes that actually work in snow.
