December 5
One hour gravel/road ride
28 degrees
skull cap, snowboard gloves, 2 layers of poly-pro, big burly softshell jacket, fleece tights, wool socks, shoe covers.

My feet froze today, but all in all it wasn’t too bad of a ride. I would have gone longer if it wasn’t for the cold feet and the need to get into the shop to tidy and get ready for the open house party. The timing ended up working quite well.

The dirt roads had a confidence-evaporating layer of ice on them, but there were no mishaps although i think i backed off a bit so as not to skitter out unexpectedly.
Best thing was the view coming off Ripley road. I love seeing Camel’s Hump in the distance.
