January turned out to be a pretty good month for me, with 237 miles. Compared to last January (0 miles), it’s infinitely better!

It does beat my goal for the month of 200 miles, so I’m happy about that. Weight-wise, the news is not so good. I’ve gained about 3 pounds this month, and nearly 8 pounds since summer. Too much sitting around and snacking on leftover holiday treats, I’m afraid. But once the weather warms up, that’ll start to come off again.

My coldest ride was at 12 degF, my warmest ride was at 62 degF; most rides were in the 30′s. Compared to last year, the month was just slightly colder (an average daily temperature of 29 degF in 2008 vs. 30 degF in 2007).

I think I have most of my cold-weather clothing selections down pretty well by this point, but I still need to write that up. It’s on my to-do list…

Statistically, January is the coldest month of the year here, so hopefully that means we’ll gradually start to see some warmer days. Bring ‘em on!
