December riding (outdoors), anyone?

We rode on Sunday - shorts and a lightweight long sleeve Ibex shirt. 7.5 miles with 1500 feet of climbing and descending. I think it was about 55 degrees.

Thom got anew bike - a Black Friday deal on an Ibis like mine. He's thrilled. It's nice to float over all the divots made by the cows.

Sweet! So glad to hear that Thom got a nice new ride too.

We went out on the fat bikes on Monday night after our 9 inches of snow on the weekend. Temps were in the teens starting out, but falling quickly (into the single digits - it was 0 here Tuesday morning). We mostly rode on the plowed bike path, but did find some trail that had been packed enough by walkers that was totally rideable. We got another 6 or more inches of snow last night, so I think it will be x-coutry skiing tonight! Looking to try to get in some fat biking up in ME over the holiday break, though!

I could call today's ride a strip tease ride. It started out at 30 degrees so I was in Texas mode cold weather with wool under layer, short sleeved jersey, long sleeved jersey, wind vest, shorts, tights ,glove liners and regular gloves and wool socks. The ride was two hours and ended in 70 degree sun. I ended riding in my short sleeved jersey, unzipped and flapping, my tights rolled up above my shorts, glove liners, wind vest, glove liners and wool socks stuffed into my back pockets. I looked like a humped back troll but it was a beautiful day otherwise.

It warmed up to a balmy 33 yesterday. I went x country skiing.

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!!!
