Dude, I just gotta ride or ski with you one of these days!

Yo all..miss me??

I was actually away skiing for a week. But back on the charriot today....Had an awesome ride this morning in the woods for about 75 minutes..hit all the trails..rode strong...felt great..esp for not being on the bike in 2 weeks. (1 week skiing....and 1 week was too cold for me..(I'm a pussy compared to Bruno.what can i say!)

 

[marcski]

Got out again today in the woods...for a good 90 minutes. Kind of cool..didn't make it above 30 here..and we got about 2-3 inches of some snow. Made the trails that much more interesting....stayed off some of the larger, slick rocks...esp the off-camber ones...And, I finally realized that my rear derailleur is broken and that is why i was getting the phantom shifting the last few rides. Need to bring in the ride for that and to get the new front rotar.....

90 mins isnt bad, try 36 hours in a weekend....

Got out for a quick 55 minute ride in teh woods this morning. 16 with a nice steady wind. The only thing that cold was the fingers...Definitely need winter/ski gloves in this weather....the winter riding gloves with a pair of liners just didn't cut it. Had to keep the fingers moving on the handlebars constantly just to fend off numbness. Toes got a bit cold at the end but not too bad. Trail is in great condition...still has the remants of last sat 2" since it never got above freezing...but nice and crunchy and grippy!!!. Can't wait for tomorrow. Might actually ride in the woods in the morning and then ski in the afternoon with the daughter!!!

Nice job Bruno. Did you ride up to "The Spoon" in Nyack?

I got out yesterday on my mtn bike in the woods just shy of 2 hours. Was able to stay "afloat" over the 4-5" of frozen sleet/snow. Was a pretty wild ride...the rubber was actally pretty grippy..but if I tried to stand on it..I was ice skating....Did the ladders, and even climbed some snow covered slick rocks...with good traction.

nice ride you too marc!! nah, i didn't go all the way to nyack as i left manhattan around 1.30 and it was icy and slushy and i was goin' to meet my girlfriend at 4.30. the entrance to the palisade trail/road was gated (not that ya can't just step over it ). next day of good weather (dryer, less ice) i'm gonna venture up that way. is "the spoon" a diner or somethin'?:lol: :-D

anyway, nice and warm here in beantown today! sunny too!! lot's o' meltin' goin' on. regular ol' commute today!:roll:

 

[bruno]

regular ol' commute yesterday with a trip to the grocery store and the liquor store.:beer: 24 miles. a few icy spots!! :razz: :smile:
