Ugh... 13°F with a wind chill/Real Feel temp of 2°F according to AccuWeather. I managed to get in an easy 14 mile ride, but it took about an hour after I got back home for the sensation to return to my fingertips.
This sucks, I'm going back to Arizona! |
Who says Winter bikes require fenders?
1983 AustroDaimler Vent Noir - frankenbuild - easy to ride the drops.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e9a3494ed.jpeg The 54/44 12/26 gearing keeps me off this bike too often. But a good ride today https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...9485721b3.jpeg Mossy wall and shortcut to the paved trail https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...95145abb6.jpeg The ‘gravel’ is rain washed and hard packed https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...37f7e1a84.jpeg Lovely to have green fields close |
Not yet. Got a dusting of snow last night so may clear it first.....

17 miles. Was able to diagnosis a consistent clicking. The right pedal was loose. Tightened it up and it ran like new.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...01269007e7.jpg b) I'm not a gravel guy but there is the opportunity to ride some beautiful paths like the one you show here in AZ....Makes me think it's worth a try! Nicely done BTW...that's not easy! |
If a bunch of very short rides counts as a ride, … well I’ve been having fun since pumping them all up over this past weekend.

Favorite? I like to say Merckx with a strong Belgium accent. Favorite to ride? The one with supple tires. |
Ah yes...the old "favorite to have, look at, fool around with etc. and the favorite to ride"...well said!
Enviable collection for sure and I'm very happy to see you using all of them! |

No names, no fanciful attachments - other than a nice ride, every time. :thumb: Roll On. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a2b0f8678.jpeg On https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5be8c8f30.jpeg the https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...fb947ac60.jpeg road https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...373030a1a.jpeg again like a band of gypsies we go down the highways, (and the byways). |
Nice cool (50*f) weather today and the end of the dry stretch. So - just do it!

17 miles on a sunny 50 F but kinda chilly breeze. We had snow and cold 36 hrs. before got lucky it's mostly melted but several little patches of snow and ice on access sidewalks and urban trails

Only 9.3 miles but a nice ride in the snow. Below freezing 🥶 so it was crispy. Good traction. Not a fast ride but enjoyable. The 2.25 rear and 2.4 front tires at 20 psi helped.

20 miles. Tucked off the dirt road for a quiet lunch.

Tuesday our weather is going down the tubes! 20 F with wind and -3 F temps that night into Wednesday. Even though the breeze was quite chilly today we bundled up a little and headed out for a 17 mile ride all over with a stop for a cup of hot tea at The Good Neighbors Meeting House and our rice cake snack! 👍 Then headed to the apartment.

[MENTION=342923]OldTryGuy[/MENTION] - lost me at: .... 2:18am......
Even if it would have been 2:22am ... I'm still lost. Even in FL. |
Still cold but the mountain bike trails are too muddy from the rain so I bundled up and did a road ride. And windy. Road 21 miles on the Domane. Been a month. Realized how much I missed it. At leas the roads were dry.
