Mercy, We Thought Yesterday was Cold

Today's Frosted Frigid Tracking
Jacque was in the mood for riding today, and it was sunny and beautiful out, so we rode the Tandem Trike to the Post Office and back.
Sunny though it was, and the house thermometer said it was several degrees warmer than  yesterday, it was certainly windier and felt even colder.  Still, yearning for bragging rights, we struggled onward.
We had to stop for several breaks along this admittedly short ride, mostly because my blood glucose was in the 50-70 range throughout the ride, way below the 150-200 level recommended for fairly heavy exercise for diabetic dunces like myself.  The cold seemed to soak into our bones so deeply it seemed hard to get the legs warmed up and pumping properly as well.
Jacque found a new doggie belly-pack that allows me to carry Jazzy in harness in front of me, keeping her close to me while separated from her arch-enemy Tinkerbell way back in the read seat.  Going east toward the Post Office it was so cold and windy we had to stop and rearrange the belly pack so it was inside my windbreaker, allowing me to zip her up out of the wind with only her head poking out the top.  This made both me and Jazzy happier and warmer.  We will provide photos of this confabulation soon.  Get ready to laugh out loud, but it works.
We were both cold and bushed by the time we got to the Post Office, but it has become ingrained in  our habit to continue onward another quarter-mile or so up to the Shell Station for some liquid refreshment and dietary-incorrect snacks.  Today instead of decaf tea or unleaded soda, it was popcorn and HOT COCOA, which at first was SO hot it burned our tongues..... but it was nice to get some heat into our cores to help us thaw out and beat the chill.  Their snack-bar has become pet-friendly, meaning they allow our puppies inside with us at the snack tables, so it was very nice to rest a while and chill, er, in this case, warm up.  Of course the doggies made several new friends;  this just cannot be prevented.
When we finally got rolling and arrived back at the transporter vehicle, we were approached by a passing motorist with the various "twenty questions" about the trike. 
It was SO nice to get back inside the steel cage and turn up the heater to get out of the wind.  It's supposed to be warmer the next couple of days so we hope to use them to keep the legs pumping while we can before the hard cold weather/snow/ice returns....
