A Freaking COLD pre-blizzard ride
We are suppose to have a blizzrd tonight with 2 + feet of snow so Instead of our usual Sunday ride we roade today . only thing is it was COLD , really really cold !! When i go up this morning it was -9 out side by the time riding time had come it was up to -4. So i Got dressed, and put layer after layer after layer. took about 40 minutes just to get dressed .
but yes I'm ready for Battle ! http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM006393.jpg IF_rider had his own little Method for keeping his hands warm. http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007078.jpg Anyway BAck to Riding it was Me, IF_rider , Berkshire rider and Dave. Here is Berkshire_rider coming down a fun Hill. http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007362.jpg IF_rider Coming Down the fire wall http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007367.jpg Dave was riding his BIG HIT which has 24 inch wheels and they don't make studded tires for 24 inch wheels , so Dave was doing a little slip sliding away. he was having Mucho trouble climbing little moab http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007369.jpg Coming down the other side was interesting even with studs on. http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007370.jpg Berkshire_rider http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007371.jpg Dave Hucking a rock, who cares if the landing is slippery as ..... http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007377.jpg Houston we have a problem , just a wee bit slippery http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007381.jpg Bershire rider approaching an Ice Step , None of us made it today http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007383.jpg Berkshire_rider down a Rock incline http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007386.jpg IF_rider hucking a rock http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007388.jpg and Finally the Big Swamp is frozen , since a quad went through it while it was slushy made it rough ice , which made it possible for dave to ride it with out studs , but very slowly. US with Studs had a fun time with this . it is about 100 Yards long . http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/bi...2/IM007390.jpg |
Nice pics.
On the other hand, we're gonna have a Sunday ride BECAUSE we're supposed to be getting 2+ feet! :D |
Hey! You guys are hardcore! I live in Florence, Mass, so I know how cold it was here this morning....really penetrating! I took my dogs for a walk....that was enough for me. Great pics.....I was there with you & didn't leave my computer!
Don't undress....You can go out tonight at 3 AM when the blizzard"s at full-tilt boogie (predicted 3 in/hr 35 mph wind about 10 degrees F)....Show 'em what Mass guys & gals are made of...... :o |

Those are indeed awesome pictures. I ride road and I thought it was cold when the temperature drops below 40 degrees. You guys rock.

Hey, that one with the wheels pointing up... You know you're riding that incorrectly, right? Rubber side down! :)
