What bike did you ride today?

-
Cold Texas day

The regular Sunday morning ride was a little tougher than usual; yesterday it was 76 out and a cold front came through in the night. 31 degrees with a ~20 mph wind. My late seventies chrome racer did ok but in hind sight my modern aero bike would have been a better choice in the wind.

he meant to say 28 degF with 23 knot wind. I stayed home and installed new front brake pads, and waxed the mud from my bags from the day before.
Neither is why we live in s. Texas - there will be better days to ride this winter.
So which was better, the mud ride or the blustery blow ride?

The mud ride was more enjoyable; the wind was tough, Broadway was a straight headwind, a few gusts felt like it was going to stop the bike.
