Winter Riding

[Eden]

I ride all winter long... out there on team rides pretty much every weekend barring ice on the roads.

Around here you'll see a drop in the number of riders out on weekends about now because racing season has begun and a good number of us are off to them... (of course last weeks season opener was snowed out!)

I was wondering about last week's race, with the weather. Frostbite, indeed. Today as so different it's hard to believe it's only been a week.

It was interesting.... it was *fine* in Seattle, but the race was up in Snohomish..... About 3/4 of the way there it started to snow..... by the time we got there it was starting to stick on the ground... After someone fell and bloodied his face in the parking lot the whole thing was called. By the time we got to Woodinville - no more snow...

Today was much, much nicer

I'm off again this afternoon to ride as far as I can, probably Lake Francis Road and out to Issaquah-Hobart and back to Renton.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I ski also so try to ride when it isn't raining and ski when the conditions are good at Stevens, i.e recently when it's not snowing too hard. Glad to be able to do two sports I love.

See you on the trail/road/slopes.

I've been commuting all winter (since Jan 1, when work office moved), for a current 600 miles (Portland, OR). Lot's of rain, some cold, some cold wind, a few nice sunny days, some hail, some hint of wet snow. I guess a little of everything. Don't do much other than commuting, at the moment, though our Sunday Parkways will be coming up and a co-worker wants to start doing some midday rides.
