01/23/22 Trail Ride at Blackwell

Rode with Erik.
Ya know how when you are out riding on the road and it clears your mind. And you can think about different things?
This ain’t like that. You’re 110% focused on staying upright. More snow than expected. Trails had a lot of slick ice underneath the snow in sections. Just enough to load up the tire lugs and raise the tire up so that the spikes couldn’t grab. Tire spins, spits out the snow patch, and the cycle repeats. Ha. Tough workout. Stayed up right; but had to clip out a few times. I was warm; but pretty drenched during the ride. Good times!

Congrats on a real hardman's ride - I definitely pussed out on this one. I thought about it and decided after blowing and shoveling the driveway that my 35mm studded tires were probably not up to the conditions

I chose instead a long sunny Grandfondo in Brasilia!

Ha, Very similar effort as when you and I headed down the Great Western Trail a couple of years ago. Different snow conditions; but same effect of constantly finding/loosing/ finding a line to move forward.
I see you planning routes for your winter trip. Enjoy!
