I wish that I could be there for your New Years Day ride. However, temperatures in the 60's don't sound like polar bear weather. Here in the Denver-Boulder area "they" are predicting temps in the mid 40's. That is tolerable for me but still not that cold. I'm sure that some others will get out and enjoy (?) a truely cold New Years Day ride somewhere.
Happy New Years,
