0 degrees Celcius at the moment

Although there is sun, it can still be very cold. Especially when there is also wind.
Good clothes help a lot!

we went to the woods because my daughter really, really wanted to experience what it was to be on a proper MTB Trail

How cool you took her on a trail. I have never been on a MTB trail myself, but I can imagine that the first time is quite scary. Especially when you don't start at the beginner trail. Kudos for her!

I never listen to music while cycling, I think it's dangerous to close yourself off from your environments while participating in traffic

True! I have a boneconnect headset, so I can still hear anything around me. I enjoy hearing the sounds of nature while riding my bicycle as well.

I almost completed the first 1000km for this year, I needed to pass the first 1k by the end of the month to keep on track for my 4000km yearly goal.

You're well on schedule. Good job!
