you needed 5 more park laps to make 45 minutes! And you already have road this week....feel better!
 
Sister visiting this week has thrown a wrench into scheduling. If I don't win the BIYF, that will be my excuse. One good thing that came out of visit was dinner at the local tofu house.

So after this and that I look at the clock and it's like 10:30pm. Decide to head out to local trails for a quickie. By the time I started pedaling it was like 11pm. I think this is latest I have ever ridden a bike.

Ride = 1pt
Park = 1pt
4Day = 1pt

Total = 3pt

The Lake boots I got from Pearl were a fail. The top ankle portions are warmer than my Shimano's but the toebox is as cold and that's the part that I have problems with. Good thing I am prepared this winter.

So if I ride from 11pm to 1am, that counts as 2 rides, right?
 
It's not even 7am and I'm done with my ride. I think maybe I passed Jimmy out there as he was coming home. I did not get to go to the Tofu House. I also blame his sister for my loss. Her and that coal miner up north.

3 total:
1 ride
1 park (Dealman)
1 cold (9 average)

19 for the week.

I played my week wrong, not realizing that tomorrow is going to be 100% chance of rain. I was going to collect my dark point tomorrow and the cold point today. If I were Iggy or Utah I would try to claim them both today. But I'm an honest coal miner, so I'll play by the rules. Not sure I have that intestinal fortitude to go ride in the rain at 5am tomorrow.

This ride was 1 of simple point gathering. I could say I was practicing my HTFU routine but honestly it's just not that bad. My toes are slightly chilly right now and my hands were getting a little cold. But in all, I've got the gear fairly figured out. Nothing will ever be perfect, so no matter what I'll be colder some days than others.

This park is nothing special but it's big enough that I only need to do 3 basic laps to get my time. Last weekend I added on a second park, but that was mind-numbing and I wanted to be home when the kids wake up. Day of swimming, birthday parties, and tree burning & fireworks ahead of us.

Tried my new light, which is insanely bright. Soon enough we're going to be able to do away with the sun as a society.

I got up, put on my finest mandex, stepped outside, cried uncle and went back to bed. The cold rides this week kicked my ass. Maybe I'll manage a road loop this afternoon.

Met dave at 6mr - got on bike at 6:33, got off bike at 7:27 (well, ended walk back to parking lot) - gps says 28 minutes moving. it also said this - actual screen shot.

i'm fairly sure it was confused......since i had 20 minutes in before leaving the parking lot, and dave had 28 moving when we returned!

I got that screen too some day last week. Googled it and confirmed iPhones start to shut down around 15 and below.
 
Pat,

It doesn't look like my ride from yesterday got in. I entered it in the form also. 😕

Cold stuff this morning. My right foot toes went numb. Shoe cover slipped up and over the toes. That explains it.
 
^It just seems wrong to goto 6mile and not do the full loop. Its like drinking 1/2 a beer or eating 1/2 a slice of pizza...you people are violating the laws of nature. We may have to offer a human sacrifice to appease the gods.

totally my fault - flatted against a downed tree on blue (decided against hopping over an off camber, angles, frost covered, no bark...) didn't stop in time. #2Cold2Crash

i have eaten bacon this am as sacrifice.
 
Pat, are you telling me you ran into a log over?
Stop riding tow paths and spend more time on trails😀
