Tim and I met up on the first of January (yesterday) for a hilly 40-mile route through Hoosier National Forest. The ride started with temperatures in the teens, which later climbed into the low 20s.
This was probably the most difficult 40-mile ride I’ve ever done. The hills were unrelenting. Even with chemical warmers in my gloves and boots, I had issues staying warm enough.
Tim wrote about it here. I’m just including some pictures.
but boy was it fun. it’ll be even more fun the next time out on your new no-name bike
Beautiful shots! Looks like a fun, challenging ride. Glad you got out, even though it was cold.
Tim,
Yep, it will be more fun on the LHT… I’ll have lower gears.
Apertome,
By the time I get home from work today, I’ll have more miles in for January than I did in all of December, so, yes, it was good to get out.
