I take a baby aspirin everyday as well. I’ll be seeing the cardiologist again in August. I’ll ask then if after two years and three months I can stop.

In my particular case Steve it is “recommended” that I take them from now on but frankly I cheat a bit and instead take a baby aspirin instead once in awhile. Ride safely and more country road pictures please!

Riding below freezing means there is always a chance of ice. Even if it’s only a discarded coffee that icy spot can spell trouble. You have to manage corners differently.

I’ve started to wonder if I need to take blood thinners forever…

I like the rice bag idea Dar. Like you I’m less tolerant of the cold these days.

Before you know it the cold weather will be behind us and thoughts of battling the cold will be as well. But next winter I”ll be whining again…

I want to at least try the electric gloves with the heated grips.

The best way to experience cold — through a window from a warm place!

Thanks for the suggestions. I have some base layers of polypropylene but have not tried wool or silk. Silk gloves — should try that.

Next trip to the doctor I’ll inquire more directly about the medication.

Not sure about art but I was suffering. Not sure why exactly and even less sure if I want to anymore. Doesn’t take long for me to want to ride again though.

Feels like wilderness when you run into dark corners with ice!
