http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=53024 See that photo in this link? That was Sunday when I last rode.
I didn't trust the freezing.
Then yesterday we got sacked with another snowstorm the whole day. However during gently drifting snow, dearie tried out his new studded tires for a grand total of 18 km. of slow riding.
It's -30 degrees C with wind chill this morning. I walked..with my snowshoeing gear to work onto LRT. We going to the mountains for a few days..
It's 60 here right now and probably nearing 70 this weekend. Of course I have to work today and this weekend I am busy with holiday/family events. No fair!!!
With the cold, inversion (yucky) and my Dad passing last week a unanimous decision was reached last night. We are driving to Death Valley on Monday and hope that Christmas finds
us in a beautiful desert spot under the stars. Temp in the 60's so not toasty but better than 15!
Sounds wonderful Sky King, safe travels.
Have fun Sky King, what a great idea! It is supposed to actually be in the 50's here tomorrow (57 today). But, of course, temps like that in Indiana this time of the year also normally means rain. A lot of it, they say at least.
Same here. I saw a lot of cyclists today, but, with melting snow and no fenders, it held no desire for me. I went snow shoeing. The snow was heavy and it was quite a workout.
It was certainly warm enough here to ride yesterday - just under 60!!!! That, of course, meant lots of snow melt, and it was almost dark when I was free. It was good to see all of the riders though - I've been seeing more and more riding on very high speed local corridors however. I wouldn't consider those in the BEST of weather, but with snow and ice on the pavement?Quote:

Looks like two more days of warmth and then back to typical December temps for here (40s and 50s with a good number of clouds and some showers). I certainly can't complain considering the weather so many are facing right now.
Another beautiful day here.

Gorgeous, both the weather and bike!
how windy wa it today? 12.5 mph going into the wind, 23 mph going with the wind. 42 miles in 3:30. At least the temperature was moderate and the sun was shining.
nice images Veronica….luv the landscape up there!! its been two weeks since a weekend ride for me. thought i was just meeting a friend for breakfast at the sunday farmers market this morning and it turned into a 52 mile ride south on the beach path to some climbing in Palos Verdas and back with her. Nice peaceful day of good companionship, exercise and a good lunch with a friend….
I finished 2013 with a bang: 126 miles in 3 days of riding (spread over 4 days), 2 of which were 35 degrees or less. The New Year's Eve ride happened at 7am, starting in the near-dark, with temps in the low 20s and not warming up much over the course of 44 miles. But I made my goal for the year :D
Just finished a short ride for my first ride IN 2014. We're starting to receive the snow that many of you are already receiving, but it was WONDERFUL to be out!!
