Any Day is a Good Day on the Bicycle

 It was nice to get out for a couple hours today.  The temperature was a very nice 8°F...that is 8 above fahrenheit.  Sun out!!  Very little wind!!  Awesome!!  The bike is a size large.  As you can see in the picture above, we have some snow this year. If I am only going to be out a couple hours in the colder temps, I carry the water bottle pictured on the bike.  I fill it with warm water and it doesn't freeze in that amount of time.  Must stay hydrated...a must. 

 I started to ride some recreation trail, but I didn't get too far and met a couple snowmobiles. On the weekend the snowmobile traffic picks up considerably, so I decided to bail at the next road.  It didn't hurt my feelings as the conditions were not the best on the trail. It was doable though.

 That put me on to the town roads.  They were excellent!!

 I was the first track across the road pictured above.  They did a very nice job.  Groomed perfectly. hehe

It was nice to see some dirt, even if it was frozen.

Even though they are of poor quality, I am loading the videos I have taken with the phone on the Youtube.  I may invest in a action camera.  I am thinking a Gopro. As always, Thank you for reading and also a shout out to those who take the time to comment. It is great to hear that some people still check the blog out.

    1. Thanks! I just told a friend of mine yesterday, that if I could have only one bicycle, that would be the one. I watched a lot of your films before I bought one, so I know you can take some credit for me riding a fatty today. Thanks for that!!

    1. Hot water under the right conditions can freeze faster than cold water. The conditions we are talking here, warm water will work just fine.
