Snowy Day


in WV again. It's snowed every day for a week with highs hovering around 22 degrees. Needed a good somewhat long ride for the soul. Pedaling by 11 am for some dirt road stoke.
Sweet views


and even sweeter conditions. Most roads had one set of tracks that made the going pretty good, but it was still quite slippery with a good pucker factor involved on the descents. And the climbs worked me!

When the wheels are frozen solid and you have to dig out the ice, you know it's brisk. Lots of creek crossing which made for no sitting around time or your bike would turn into a big block of ice.

Pedaled for 5 hours but at the last turn off my folks came by in the truck. We were trying to thaw out a water bottle for the last 6 miles to the car. It was gonna be the biggest and sketchiest descent of the day. We bailed, threw the bikes in the back and got dropped off at the car. An absolutely great day on the bike. Plan on being back in CO on Monday. Just have to wait and see. peace!

oh yeah, finally got this set up.
