January's freezing fog





We started a bit afte 730 this morning amidst temps in the high teens and the most annoying freezing fog ever. We stayed on bigger roads since visibility was better but we really felt unsafe from the cars. I think at points visibility was below a quarter mile. Our bikes instantly turned to frosty beer mugs and our glasses were useless. We rode out east for clearer roads but the increase in traffic made us decide to play it safe and end the stupidity. We parked our bikes and butts at the Luau Coffee shop in Wasco and had coffee and relaxed. On the way back we rode the super-compacted Great Western Trail. We were both on cross bikes, Hellmut with knobbies and moi in full slick mode. I dropped my air pressure to 25 lbs and kept it as straight as possible. The exercise level was good and got in a solid 3 hour ride with almost 40 miles covered. Ride tomorrow again. No DBD ride today.
Best,
Ari
