some motivation reading....

[Mtn Mike]

This page has some personal accounts of racers in the Iditarod bike races from previous years. Idiarod Trail Inviational (http://www.alaskaultrasport.com/STORIES..html) Reading these stories has motivated me to ride in the snow more this week.

p.s. Many of you have probably read these before, as they've been on the web for a while.

Reading the first story was enough to inspire me to take the bus to work instead of riding today.(-18C, 0F with 18mph wind for -20 F wind chill).
Even though those people don't seem to have limits, I do. I would have to invest in lots more stuff to ride colder than my present limit (-15 C, 5F)
