First trainer of season: Yay, Kinetic inRide is defunct :( // @230watts, I guess.

I decided I might as well try to roll 100k, since the weather was pretty nice, and hey, maybe I won't have many weekend days like this to work with as the weeks go on. Wasn't really sure how it'd feel, but no real complaints; knees seem fine, wrists are fine. My bike is massively heavy and inefficient, but it rolls, and that's what matters most. #temperaturemap

KIT NOTES:
- Castelli Prosecco Tech base layer, Polare 2 bib-tights, Bandito 18 wool socks, Espresso GT gloves, Alpha RoS 2 jacket
- Brynje fishnet polypro base layer, Giro Ambient cap, Mad Alchemy neck thingy
- Lake MX145 boots, Syksol ContourForm Expert insoles, Giro Ambient shoecovers

RESULTS:
- Total success. I was a little concerned my feet might get cold, but no. Thin wool socks and the Syksol insole (foam, dual-density) worked better than all other combos I've used. My feet were legit warm as I got home. 
- Core was completely perfect the whole time, with the inner Alpha layer open. Never had to change it. 
- Hands were a little cold after my coffee stop, but good again once was rolling a bit. This is consistently the case, blood clearly shunts when I stop. The gloves continue to be fantastic.
- Legs were fine, as usual. Always feel a little cool for the first 5-10 minutes, then I don't even think about them.
