Ooops - unexpected test of cold gear.

I keep saying I'm going to call it and winterize my bike but the weather network keeps changing the forecast.

9C and sunny with <1mm of isolated showers on Monday

just home - good ride - more mud that I anticipated after taking a back way home.
Rain and 9 should solve that.
Steen"s Dairy is gone after some 60 years in Erin

nasssssssty - was tempted today tho it was cold....but THAT is a stay at home weather system for a bike. Good luck to the commuters still out there tomorrow.

It's nice this morning - overcast, but the roads are drying. I put on a sweater, but I didn't need it. Maybe I will for the ride home.

It is nice out..... Unfortunatley mine got tucked away this weekend until Spring....

 

[MacDoc]

too busy to get out - maybe tomorrow afternoon

 

[MacDoc]

or not -4 at the Forks - tad too chilly for coffee run
Got a muddy bike too ....

 

[DaveTheCanuck]

6, 6, and 5 with clear skies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I'll be out if that doesn't change

 

[MacDoc]

Thanks for the heads up - got a muddy ride that needs a wash and except for Friday - Hobbit day - I'll be out for sure

 

[MacDoc]

Lovely day - passed several riders on the way to the Forks and girl there said about 6 were in already. Sunny dry and 6 degrees - pretty sweet for a mid Dec day.
Some slick looking stuff in the shady bits but it's all got brine down so not too concerned.

I love ride reports to the forks

 

[MacDoc]

Also took my bike out for a ride to work and back. Lots of fun dispite the cold.

What kind of camera were you using (Or where did you mount it to)? It seemed like it was moving from side to side throughout the whole ride lol

I used a old school flipcam and a ziptie, zipped it to the brake cable/ handle bar lol

I wish I had a contour camera now.

Eeh, if its cheap and it works, why not? Although the contour roam was on sale for $100 on black friday which is pretty cheap for a 1080p video cam.

got in late ( 4 am ) from meteor watching then just got up in time for the Hobbit.
That blew the day and was not interested in Friday traffic when short of sleep.

Hopefully tomorrow and stay off the mud this time.
Getting comfie with near zero conditions....have to push below that on a dry day and see how I goes.
Need some warrmer socks tho.
