Lovely little ride in the north mountains today. Just a little snow...no dramas.
Getting to the top was a bugger after the Christmas / New Year cheer, but the descent was oh so sweet.

If you forget water, there may be other options.
Watch the LZ.
May be a bit slippy.
On! On!

I went downhilling for the first time today. Sketchy. I also experienced my first snow ride today as well.

Took the new hardtail for a ride this morning. Man it was cooold. Loving the simplicity of a hardtail 1x10 though. I think this bike is going to see a lot of use.

Hardtail + largest tires I've got to cram into the frame/fork = ersatz fatbike.
Thinking to stick a fatbike fork/wheel on the front - shorter fork but taller tire will about equal the front end height of the 160mm fork when sagged.
Timer was showing me no love yesterday.

Finally took the camera on a ride today. Haven't been on our local DNR land since the logging started a few months ago.

12F while out today.
Was even colder a couple hours earlier, when I took the dog out for her run. Then spent the rest of the afternoon on the current project - insulating my very chilly garage.
It'll stay warmer/be easier to get warmed up to comfot when working out there, and will reduce the rest of the houses energy costs as a bonus. I'm about halfway done. Slow going - pulling down the existing/older inner bits then putting in the insulation bits, and paneling over is time consuming. 3/4 hardwood ply on the walls - so I can attach things as needed, and 1/4 moisture resistant luan board on the ceiling.
Then, when all that is done, I can get the whole thing more organized/put together, so I can have room to get my tablesaw up and running for a few other things.

What things looked like when first out of bed this afternoon, pre-coffee.
Post. Limited time between waking up and having to get back to work tonight, so...
Runnin' with the devil.
Totally looks smaller than 65# with this effect shot.

yesterday, we decided to hop on a ferry and go to Samal Island.
We finished the 30+km ride (map only shows the ride within the island), in about 2 hours, with a stopover at the Azalea Peak.
it was a fun and easy ride.

Yesterday.
Fish eye lens effect doesn't carry through as well when there isn't much in frame.
I'm digging playing with the miniaturization effect though!

If my snow was that thin, I might. Our two feet has settled into a foot but it's still very much there. Keep the pics coming, I need the inspiration whilst trainer-bound.
