Did the Pasadena Marathon Bike Tour today. It was cold and rainy but I've honestly been on colder (not as wet) rides. I was wearing a balacalva but it wasn't much help after the first 4 miles--it was all wet.

This has never happened before but after the ride I found it a little painful to breathe/swallow. I mean, I can breathe it's just more annoying than anything else now. I don't feel this is something I need to consult with a doctor unless it gets worse but has anybody experienced this after riding in the cold?

Yup. Cold air is hard on the lungs, it's a fact of life. Drinking water or something can help, as can cough drops.

Put on a hanky and go around pretending you're a bank robber.

28 degrees up in Vixenville today, I felt like I was going to die at work today.

Luckily, the wind was to my back when I rode home.

A hot spa, or sauna would be better after that misery.

No, it didn't! I can officially patch a tube better than stilline! Win!

(Also- I did a celebratory flail, and knocked over my cereal bowl. There is now broken glass everywhere.)

Feel better today--must have been breathing cold air that just somehow made my lungs sore.
