I froze my tuckus, but did get a ride in and even liked it up until ice on the cassette turned my MTB into a single speed.
The error of the day... riding a bike without fenders...
The slushy, snow covered MUP... note that I appear to be alone in my desire to ride today..?...
Brain freeze

Now?? Sitting here looking out at the snow falling. Like you, we will be waiting for Tuesday.
Yesterday we were at Fitzwater Station for lunch. Lady asked if we bike all winter. Responded that we do but not in snow. Did I ask for this snow with my response to her?

20 miles in-doors on the trainer watching 4th quarter of the Pitt / Cincinnati game. What a game! Instant classic.

Yep - has been nice and brisk the past few days but very enjoyable. Saw a wolf the other day in an urban park - it was either a wolf an a very very tall coyote.

It was 19 degrees in North Texas this morning. It didn't much better until very late lafternoon as far as I could tell.
I did couch intervals.

Just finished my coldest ride in 9 months.
The temperature was 22f as I went out the door and it stayed below 30f.
36 miles along the Chicago lakeshore.
Cheers
Michael

I woke this morning for the first snow of the season, and we had maybe 1/4" on the patio. It was a wet, sticky snow.
I rode to work with no issues, but the roads were clear. It was rather peaceful. Oh, and it went well with the Christmas lights I put on my bike yesterday:
