cyclist kate – my cyclist boyfriend said the EXACT same thing to me last week when i went off to look for warmer biking gloves. my summer gloves are just not cutting it in the morning wind.
he definitely recommended xc skiing gloves, which are better and cheaper. so that’s what i got! they feel less hardcore than my real biking gloves, but i think my hands will stay warm and that’s what counts.

Cyclist Kate,
Thanks for the gear advice. I don’t think I can afford them all, but perhaps I can find some stuff on sale.

Micaela ,
I answered this question above – #11.

Thanks for answering my question! That was actually how I had mine… not gross at all! It definitely helps stretch out the PB.

This is probably a silly question, but how do you eat the pb when you put in your oatmeal? Do you mix it in or keep it on the spoon or what? I tried some in my cream of wheat the other day and I mixed it in. It wasn’t horrible but I kept wishing I’d left the pb out, even though was really craving it a few minutes before.

It’s getting crazy cold here in Chicago too!! Although, I suppose that’s expected. Anyway, sometimes I have to remind myself to cool it with the PB too! haha

PB is definitely not a free refill, but can be purchased with long/hard workouts and substitutions with other ingredients! (at least that’s what I tell myself)

another good way to eat peanut butter on oatmeal and not lose the full flavour is to swirl it on top, which can be done with runnier or melted peanut butter

PB refills are a MUST!!! especially with your teeny tiny spoons

Chilly here today too, but I am LOVING it!

After I walked my dog, my oatmeal warmed me up though.

We may have to fire up our wood burning stove tonight!

Biking in the cold is awful! It’s not like running or walking where you warm up after going fast for a while. Instead, you just get colder from the added wind! Blech!
