Sunday Riding

Great Western Trail in Snow Storm

The Gunnar after 5.5 hours of Abuse

I started off by riding really slow since my back is not 100% yet. After the nasty crash I have been trying to take it easy as to fully recover and resume normal intensity. I was out for almost 6 hours yesterday and it felt great. I rode the GWT first by myself and then met up with the Guys from North Central Cyclery for some riding along the powerlines. It snowed pretty much all day and the wind was fierce. I was very well dressed with the following:

Craft Windfront turtleneck

Gore Winstopper Jacket

Light merino wool Vest

Craft balaclava

Rapha summer hat

Uvex Helmet

Riding shorts

amfib tights

wool socks

lake winter boots

ski gloves

I could have been outside all since since my back started to losen up at around the 4 hour mark. When I got home I mounted the Nokian Extremes on the Rockhopper for tonights ride. I expect all the snow from yesterday and today to have turned into ice. Full report on the Nokians soon.

best,

Ari
