It was a wild weekend for sure.
I rode Shubie Park on both days. Saturday was bitter, bitter cold. Minus 18 when I headed out from MicMac Mall. Minus 27 if you count the f’in wind. I wear lots of layers and goretex windstopper material as a full layer outside so I was feeling Ok. Not warm but not cold. However, the balls of feet were both really cold (frozen) from the metal cleats on the bottom of my spd shoes. I tried some of those cheap heated insoles but the did absolutely nothing. Great ride though. Perfect amount of packed snow down and the park was virtually empty. One of my favorite rides of the year.
Yesterday morning at 8:30 a buddy of mine and I headed to Shubie. It was crazy out. The storm was in full mode. We rode from The end of the road by MicMac Mall (Lakeview??) by the playground to Vivians Way and back. One hour 40 minutes :o There had to be easily 6-8 inches of snow down and when you got close to a lake the drifts were starting to pile up. Once we turned around at Vivians Way and headed back it wasn’t long before our track completely disappeared from the trail in front of us. You could not tell we just rode through the same trail just a few minutes ago. I wasn’t cold at all, although it was quite cold and windy out. It was no where near Saturday’s temps. I LOVED this ride. I would have to say it was one of my favorite rides ever. It was just so unique.
Did anyone else get out to experience the Great Outdoors in all its glory?!
