Winter Riding in the Singles.

I discovered there is a majestic Bald Eagle that lives about 1 mile from our house

There is a lot of streams and creeks around us.

CAnnondale with Cascadia fenders and Moosemitts. Essential winter gear

The wife and offspring surprise me with homemade cake for the big 49.
I can still beat you up.

As always.

I had a quick window in the afternoon to get out and stretch the legs. I got out with the C-dale mountain bike and it was great. The roads were covered in snow and I headed south, straight into the hills. I took Brickyard Falls, then Broadhead and then headed south on Watervale. My intent was to get in a quick 15 miles. I turned around at the halfway mark and started descending. The temps were dropping quick and between that, going downhill and having a headwind I quickly got really cold. My feet froze and my sweat felt really chilly under my jacket. Getting home was great and it took a while for the toes to warm up again. As always, I was glad to get out because there is no such thing as a bad ride.
Try Harder,

More Moderate Winter Riding

Erie Canal Trail. Fightclub, snow riding, gravel.

7 degrees the other night. Did even feel it. Rode through Green lakes, hooked up with the Canal. 15 miles Total on the Pugs.

Found some falls outside of Manlius. Then I got lost.

Getting Dark, one small blinker and no map. Out in Oran somewhere.

Commuting on the Erie Canal. Snow is packed, but will melt soon since we are already having spring.

Happy New Year to everyone. 2011 was a stellar year and I am in midst of collecting some images to come up with a recap of what went down. I believe some of the riding that took place will never be repeated. It was that good.
Right now I am just keeping my mileage up and revving up for Trans Iowa. I did manage to ride all 31 days of December and so far for January I have ridden all 6 days. This time of the year I am more interested in staying on the bike and being consistent rather than going out and hammering like a madman. I have been riding the Salsa Selma, The Pugsley and the new Cannondale Mtn Bike.
Today's commute was warm with temps in the high 30's. I had shorts tights, wool base layer, wool sweater and windbreaker and was dying of heat.


more to come and thanks for reading,
