I fully intended to post these pix a couple days ago, but what with dodging Christmas shopping responsibilities for bike rides, I just didn’t get around to it.

I talked to my friend Nick yesterday. He rode the group ride on Thanksgiving. 7:30am on Thanksgiving was 14 degrees at Rock Cut. He said it was brutal. But there was no snow. When I rode on Friday, it was coming down pretty good.

It was 21 degrees according to my car’s outdoor thermometer. I expected the ride to be ugly. In fact I expected to be the only one in the park. I had called a few people who all conveniently had other plans. You know who you are. So I drove to the Lion’s parking lot and, holy cow, there was another car. A guy, Jeff, was getting ready to ride too. I’m not the only moron to go mountain biking in a snowstorm.

Here’s a link to Mountain Bike Action magazine for some tips on riding in cold weather.
