Next time either try turning aroun d half way and getting a tailwind or even better, just ride downwind the whole time. 22? You mental? Or a mentalist?

teleportation would be a convenient thing to circumvent such conditions! Mentally, It's just a certain kind of special.

Mrs RSbob gave me an early ‘gift’ for Xmas, a whopping head cold. Miles these last 3 days are zero. Maybe in a couple more I will be on the trainer. Have snow now and a projected high in a couple of days of 21F
Am 80 miles short of 5000 for the year - I will get there…..

Cool in the low 40 F today so a mountain bike ride. 7.1 mile loop. Isn't that equal to 20 miles on the road. But did confirm running low pressure in the fork is not the way to go for plushness. 225 psi in my Tora set up for 60 mm travel keep the filling in place. 3rd ride with the PNW Coastal dropper suspension post. Fantastic at eliminating getting slammed going over hidden roots while sitting and cranking. If your not from a BMX background and stand a lot this is the way to go for a hard tail. Maybe I don't need a full suspension mountain bike. OR maybe I need one for smoother pedaling on the rough.
Cool and not bugs. poison ivy or sweat in the eyes.

Hoping to slide in a ride before the snow drop happens. It'll be a warm 19F in the next few mornings, but I am determined to freeze my jewels off!

Reminds me of the time I went XCO skiing up a mountain with my girlfriend. Took three hours of tough climbing and was really sweaty at lunch. We had an hour ski down and wasn’t evidently wearing sufficient underroos for the low temps and lack of exertion on the way down. When I got to the car, I couldn’t feel my gentleman part until it started to thaw out and OMG, if you ever thought thawing out frozen fingers was painful, you don’t know what real pain is.

22 miles right before the wind kicked up. Supposed to dump some cold precip later, so I'll finish off the day on the trainer....
