  1. Well, they aren't very good for cycling. It's cold, the roads are icy,
    the snow is deep and I can barely ride my townie on the streets.

    But I got out to my usual trails and had a good time anyway.

    On Sunday it warmed up to -7 by about 11:00 am so I decided to get out
    for a little fun on the trails.

    Lots of frost on things:

    I like the contrast between rocks and snow.

    Quite a few critter tracks.

    Rock on! (I just happened to notice this shadow while I was stopped for
    a snack)

    You're friggen crazy :-) -7? I was cold Saturday hiking at 37F to do
    trail work on the BCT and the river crossing was a lot nicer on the ass end
    of a horse in the morning than it was wading across in the
    afternoon......and as I was putting my shoes on the horses showed up.
    BCT is now connected from Highway 74 North to Black Canyon City, Woo
    HOOOOOO.

    Oops, got distracted. Nice track in the last picture. Amazing how the rear
    wheel tracked precisely behind the front wheel. What kind of handlebars are
    you running to get such an odd shadow in the next to last photo?

    Creek crossings get a lot easier when it's colder!

    Black Diamond dual adjustable vertical bars. I prefer longer for
    climbing and flats and shorter for descents.

    Cold is cool,its the melt down and then freeze over at night. The snow
    and ice is still around after week. So I leave the scooter parked and
    I ride my bike and look at it this way its a workout. So put that
    remote down and get off that sofa and ride. One I can't stand a
    seasonal ride. Like the school teacher next store chill comes along
    bike rack comes off the car and bike gos in storage.
