It is pretty icy on the trail . . . I am cancelling our ride for tomorrow on the Interurban/Green River Trail. It would be horrible (and I would feel awful) if someone fell and broke a wrist or something. We have a new year ahead of us . . . spring is just around the corner (I sure hope so) and I will definitely repost a ride when the weather is warmer and the ice and snow a thing of the past.
Let's all do a mantra now . . . warm, sunny, windless days . . . warm, sunny, windless days . . . warm, sunny, windless days . . .

We'll have to go for next Sunday. I haven't looked outside yet, having just gotten up to go to work, but I doubt there's been much improvement.
Even rain would be better than this ice!

i don't like this ice! My bikes are crying out for a ride, but jeez, this ice stuff is nuts!
Looks like another day of huddling under blankets. I don't even want to try to get to church (10 miles) when I'm surrounded by icy hills and can't even get to the grocery store (10 blocks)!
Those spiked mtb ice-tires are starting to look mighty fine!

Knot, once you get past the 'hood, it's not too bad.
We live in a bowl on the side of a hill, we have to go up and then down
to get ANYWHERE. But the cars have made ruts in the snow so there is enough asphalt showing that we can get in and out.

Good morning to another cold day in the Seattle area! What ever happened to land of mild winters and summers?
My poor bikes are hanging sadly in the garage. It's even too cold to go mountain biking. I'm susceptible to bronchitis. Last time I had it was four years ago while doing a ride in Montana (in May) with snow, ice, and sleet.
Oh to be warm again and riding with sweat dripping down my nose!
Hang in there girls!

ARGHH. We wanted to take a ride today. Dammit. THIS HAS TO STOP. IT SIMPLY MUST STOP.
