yep, I like the winter
I guess that it's been a little while since I've posted on here. I guess that I've just been too busy riding in the ice. I have found that the wind is my friend in the winter. If the wind is blowing, then that's the way I'm going. I do look like something of an abstract painting: Red arm warmers, silver jersey, grey/orange/black shoes, black waterproof socks, vanilla long johns, kahki shorts, blue helmet. Kinda funny.
I have been filling my water bottle with warm water- it usually doesn't stay warm, but it does take a LOT longer to freeze. Tomorrow I should be able to hit the trails again, and I plan to purchase a headband to cover my ears.
Can't wait to get back to XC.
Thanks for all of the advice guys. Maybe I'll start commuting...
