Pretty... but Sketchy

Have enjoyed the beauty of the ice lately... Still getting out for some rides after the storm and finding gravel concession roads to have tons of traction and less slush...

Added benefit of being able to eat ice off the trees rather than carrying it on my bike...

In case you miss me...

Ok... I'm bragging....

In case you misses it the first time.... My big TV Debut will be showing on Global again today (26th) at 5;30 and 9:30 and also on January 1st at noon. 

Of all the Making A Difference segments that Susan Hay did this year... mine was chosen in the Top 8 for a Year In Review replay...  

Check it out!!!!

Selfish....

Felt like a 5 year old on Christmas morning..... Woken up at 5am by Jake and couldn't get back to sleep... So I was riding before 6 to get it done.... And Santa didn't even save me some cookies for "Recovery"....

Merry Christmas!!!

Powder tracks...

Hit the forest again on the weekend for another Snow MTB ride... Tons of fun!!!

Now I know why people live the Fat Bikes in the winter.... Anything to avoid the trainer!!!

Just me and the forest kritters...

Dragging my Knuckles

Spent the last week moving everything we own out of one house and into the new house. It all fit into 8 load of UHaul ... So I spent a food week of Strength. Had everything moved in and unpacked in less than 3 days...

Sue's desire to see how the piano looked in every room of the house was greatly Un-appreciated!!!

Spent a few amazing days riding in the snow filled winter wonderland.  Thought i would check out the forest on a solo ride, and didn't want to leave.  Then joined Adam, Emily and Eric for a totally fun snow-throw down and another solid 2.5hrs in the trees hitting all the "regular" trails.  And then rode back out the next day to the forest for another couple hours with Adam and Emily.  So much fun riding in the snow and testing the nerves and handling skills as we fought the ice, drifts, tracks and off camber.... Highly recommend checking it out when the snow returns... the Early Bird gets the Powder Tracks!!!

Pumped about the snow!!!!

Taken down by an un-named professional cyclist (...Emily) while racing for the Tree-Branch-Snow-Dump-On-The-Person-Behind-You trick...

This one was MY fault...

Way too much fun.. and yes, Eric rode Emily's CX bike for the day - impressive...
