e-mail from a friend... ride to Philly marathon in sub-freezing temps - cool.
meet at 7:30am - first 15mins, my face hurts because it is so cold, but then warms up... next 30 mins, toes and feet are frozen
ride is pancake flat, so no chance of getting warm on a hill climb
get to the 20 mile mark of the marathon - Matt buys me a hot chocolate - good chap
we watch the leaders head to the finish and we ride behind for a while, then find a spot in the sun to stay warm - it doesn't work - standing still is a bad idea
we ride to the marathon finish and watch the top woman and some friends cross the line - then we head home
good day
