I think I'm going to give up my attempts at continuing to ride. It's just getting too cold. Sure I see people still riding all the time, but they probably don't have a car 
I had a jacket come in from www.motorcyclehouse.ca and I thought it was gonna warm me up.. big surprise. Not going to do the job.

Last year I wore my textile jacket + the jacket liner with my winter jacket over it. Kept me warm till about -10. The only real problem is cold hands which is why I'm waiting for the Velocity heated gloves to come in ^_^. $15-$20 glove liners from sport check underneath my gloves helped out a lot as well - kept my hands warm for (probably) an additional 15 mins before they really got cold after 30 mins in those temps.
Just bought a pair of these. For $20 and shipping from Canada I had to try them out.

I'll be going as long as I can. One thing that is nice about bike is reserved parking at GO. You just show up and ride into the spot while cars circling have to park illegally due to no more spots. Then when you get off the train you run with everyone else to the lot before the exit bottleneck you just run to the front and vroom off.
Wish it was spring already. I'm not ready to stop.

It was decent this morning and the ride home, but I think i'm close to being done this year...
don't stop - get some gear and recognize the days are shorter.
Had some lovely rides in January last year - wasn't alone either
