  1. Not really a normal ride, but I sort of got out.
    Record cold temps over the last week. -37 one morning and we left town
    for a couple of days to soak in some nice warm water.

    Cool scenery around the reservoir on the way out of town (at maybe -20
    by noon):

    I took this rig for a couple of miles to the trailhead after we got back
    to out still frigid town:

    Then did a few Miles like this:

    Saw a cool stump:

    Then the sun got low and the temperature followed (maybe -5 here).

    The ride home was pretty cold (painfully so) but it was nice to do
    something and include a bike!

    A winter biathlon. Good pic of the steamy reservoir. I rode last night
    in 15 degrees and nearly froze my kishkes off.

    It's not the cold, it's the humidity.
