First Day off riding and First Slender Fungus Ride of 2011

On my way to work today. Dangerous Lake to Skate on. Don't do it!

Salsa Fargo at rest last night. What an amazing bike.

My most reliable riding partner: Gumby.

Rode the frozen GWT on Monday. Not do-able

Started the new year off by having a great ride on Saturday morning in the howling wind and cold. It was quite uncomfortable trying to stay warm. Sunday saw a better ride with distance extended all the way to Waterman. Like saturday we did a warm up at Afton. Monday saw me on the GWT with the Fargo trying to ride glare ice with little success. I rode the edges and the dry sections to make it out to Richardson's in over an hour. Arrived home frozen due to poor clothing choices. Today commuted and felt warm and comfortable with my trusty Patagonia Micro Puff hooded jacket. Reused the toewarmers from last night by keeping them tight in a ziploc bag. Rode them home after work, so 3 uses on them. The weeks are starting to tick away and it will be constant work of commuting and doing some longer rides as weather permits.
So far, so Good.

Best,

Ari
