Fuel EX 9.8. Cloudy and gray, cold, 29 at the start, dropped to 21 near ride's end - humid, with snow flurries, WNW winds really picked up over the course of the ride. Had a blast, really happy with how the Fuel does in snow. A very quiet ride, sound dampened by the snow and I only saw 2 people out walking their puppers, 2 runners and just one other rider on Crane Road on a trail bike. Only saw a few other (fat) bike tracks - I'm always amazed at how few other riders take advantage of the local cross country trails available. Good route and conditions - Parked over by the dog park at Hickory Knolls, spent most of the ride in LeRoy Oakes, then a quick jaunt up to Primrose Farm Park on the gravel sections (plus a farm field portion - won't make that mistake again). Then back through LeRoy and over to do a quick loop in Hickory Knolls. By the 2 hour mark the wind was howling and the temps had really dropped to the point I was getting frozen in the toes and fingers, so it was time to call it quits. Another Winter character builder for sure. The forecasted Winter storm is moving in - high winds, frigid below zero temps and 4-6" snow predicted the rest of the day into the evening. I'm not going to shovel or snow blow until tomorrow. Every day is a new annual Personal Record for mileage (8,876), ride time (623:45) and # of rides (263). Very real chance I will top 9,000 miles for the year in the next 8-9 days.
