New Years Day Adventure

aspenmike · 2008-01-02T03:46:42+00:00

Woke up to -26 C (-14)Ftemps, and colorado blue sky today. The skiing has been fantastic this December, a record snowfall December at that. Had to get out for a spin, annual event, so dressed up appropriately and rode down the icy/snowpacked roads and trails. Most of the roads/trails were good for riding, as long as I did not attempt any quick turns. Today was the first day the mountains have been out of the clouds for quite awhile so I took a bunch of photo's, and I will share them with you all. I ended up spending a couple of hours on the 36er, did some small climbs, pretty hard on the snowpacked roads though, and ended up in town which was really fun. Lot's of people in town these days, so I had a blast spinnin around them. Happy New Year, hope you all got to do something fun today 😄 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Mike New Year 08' uni009P1060982.JPG | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/24222 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- aspenmike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aspenmike's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3768 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/66703 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Looks absolutely amazing, however makes me happy to know that we don't
really get below 2 or 3 degrees C here in Cape Town in winter. BTW...

Great shots Mike,
Now that the touristas are gone, we have our towns back to ourselves.🙂
🙂
The skiing is great and the sun is back out! It's still bitter cold but
that should improve this week!

that is insane, it's like 70 degrees here 🙂
love the pictures, it's hard for me to imagine such a different climate
at the same time of year.

I can't resist clicking on an aspenmike thread. If it's aspenmike, you
know there's going to be at least one postcard-ready picture in there.
This one did not disappoint either! I liked the shadow one too.

Cold is gone, (only -6C )tourists are gone, and the Powder is back,
another weekend storm on its way, yippee.

Thanks John! It is a great time of year for LONG shadows.

Great Shots! I went for a New Years day ride too. It isn't quite as cold
here only about -9C. However, it has been cloudy here forever and
finally we have have some sun. I love the cold sunny weather!
Glad you liked the shots, and cold sunny weather is nice, the air is
typically so clean and you can see forever.
One last shadow shot

Have to agree.
Every time I see an Aspenmike or a Mikefule thread, I just know it's
going to be good.
Hmm... two Mikes.
You think by any chance they are the same person?
