I needed to get a long ride in and already did 2 hours on the trainer yesterday, so it was time to get outside despite temperatures around 5 F and 15-20 mph winds. So I rolled out the door at 6:45am expecting the worse, and for the most part, I got it. I met Bob Rodgers in Bedford at "around" 8am (Rick, for the record, I was not late). Bob and I had decided the night before that it would be a good idea to ride to Akron and back on the Towpath. So we did. Near blizzards, chilly winds, sun, 80-90 miles and nearly 7 hours later I arrived home. We have the pictures to prove it.

You and Bob are studs. I was at Chapin outside for 2.5 hours and thought-man, no way I'd ride in this weather!!
That's pretty sweet. Sadie and I rode for 26 miles & about 2 hours Saturday on the towpath. (Ray, we missed you out there...)
It was pretty cold, but it was 10* warmer than today. I had forgot my shoe covers, but other than having cold feet for the last 1/2 hour or so there were no problems staying warm.
It was COLD. Bob was a little underdressed, but I got it just right. I'll post later exactly what I had on..it was a lot. BRD
dude, you are hard core! And on time!
:-D
Congrats on the fasting and riding. The only riding I've been getting is on planes for the last three days for work. I did walk in -3'F weather in Kiel, WI to watch the "pack" play on tv at some dive bar.
Think I'll try that early as $hit trainer riding you do.
Cheers!
