We went full "Winter Mode" after Thanksgiving here. |
Then the weather went down the toilet. We got a lot of wind on Friday, and I had family obligations, then I had to work Saturday and that cut into my time. Add in a last minute crunch on a couple of writing projects and a big feature on the blog coming up for this Saturday and I was pressed for any free time as it was.
Sunday morning, very early, it snowed. Then it got really cold. So now I am not looking at riding anything but my Ti Muk 2 with some 45NRTH pogies attached.
Between commuting to work and some "garbage miles" around the neighborhood, I figured I had pushed in ten more miles, maybe a couple more. I rode a bike everyday, I just didn't have very good weather or the time to get into a longer ride.
I'm probably 15 miles short of a metric century, but it is what it is. I tried, and I didn't get there. I have to consider that the wind chill has been in the single digits and the Sun doesn't stay up past 4:30pm for long now and well..... All was not lost, as I got out on a bike everyday and that is better than not getting on a bike.
I did get a few people to join me on this Virtual Turkey Burn idea though and those reports have been coming in already. I may get some more before the deadline at midnight tonight. We will see. I'll start running those reports starting this coming Monday, December 4th.
Stay tuned.....
The contrast between the sunny day and late fall colors vs your Mukluk picture in the snow is crazy. At first I thought the Mukluk pic was from a different year or something :-)
