After a 14 hour day on New Years Eve I finally made it to bed around 4 am. Lots of work at the restaurant and lots of driving post work. I was up around 730 deciding what to wear on a really cold new years day ride. We met at the back of the shop and only 3 of us showed up. What's your excuse? Rolled out south on 23 then took Gurler to Crego and headed for shelter in Afton. The temps were in the teens and the wind was gusting over 30 mph. We fought the wind and made to the woods to warm up. Jay was riding his brand new Gunnar Crosshairs and it looked stunning.
We got in 2 hours of riding and really froze up. I returned home and went back to bed just to warm up. Been drinking tea and coffee all day. Great ride.
A warm Happy New Year to all my readers and I hope 2011 keeps you safe and healthy.
best,
Ari

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! When are you riding this Saturday? I am thinking of heading to DeKalb with my singlespeed this weekend. I only made it for an hour on New Year's morning. Cold but fun...

Mike,
ReplyDeleteWe will be cruising at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday from the back of the shop. Probably a 1.5 hrs ride just to keep rolling.
