When it’s in the 80s-90s I have to have a sweatshirt and winter cap on if I go somewhere and the AC is on.It’s a serious problem. I’ve had a few instances of frostbite, as well as frostnip. The damage is permanent, and I have to be incredibly careful when I’m out in the cold. This, of course, is made worse because I LOVE the cold. Crave it. In general, if I can keep moving, and I’m dressed appropriately, it’s not an issue, but… if my hands get cold, or my toes, it can be only moments before they become worthless. Hands especially. The pain feels like someone driving wire brads into my fingertips, and they become completely useless. Something as trivial as straightening out a thrown chain on a bike could be impossible.
Maybe that’s part of the draw, for me. Even a trivial ride on my bike, close to home, when the conditions are rough could have major consequences. Like having toes that need to be removed, or fingers.
…even posting about this makes me want to ride.
wtf is wrong with me
Someone will ask if I’m cold, I’ll look at them and say no
when the realization comes they start laughing. As a kid, would stay out in the cold till I couldn’t feel my hands and feet, now I’m paying for it
That would also look really sweet in a good blue!
