Just a few weeks ago ... I cycled the length of a beach and back. About 20 km all up. In all my years of cycling, I had never ridden on a beach.

Made it home alive after eating a hash brownie given to me by a fellow bike club member. It took every ounce of skill i developed over the years. Also... I am way too old for hash brownies.

I once left the house for work when it was.-12F... I moved back to south Florida the next month. If the canary drops dead leave the mine, if the iguana drops dead... Leave the state.

Our first beach ride starts on this page and continues to the next page ...

Our second (less successful ... different beach, softer sand, incoming tide) beach ride starts on this page and continues to the next page ...

And when I lived in Winnipeg, I commuted at -40C/F a time or two.
But that was several years ago. I haven't experienced temps that low in a while.

But then, if you've been here, you know that.
Lots of great beaches, though.

My biking first would have to be doing 24 miles daily to and 6 miles daily from work... on a full suspension with rear rack and panniers. (80% up hill totalling 259 feet rise).

I know what you mean; a couple of years ago, after drinking at a party, a friend gave me a cookie made with marijuana butter. I was unable to even mount the bike, so I walked it home. That was crazy.

I rode on a lake this winter for the first time - pretty cool weaving around the ice fishermen - its also a great way to measure distances from shore if you are into triathlons.
