Winter Mountain Bike Ride, January 19, 2008

Jane and Mary Feipel joined Pussanee and I for a picture perfect Winter Mountain bike ride at Palos today. With a start temperature of 5 below zero conditions were outstanding for winter riding.

With just a half inch of snow cover traction was excellent and we were able to cover 15 miles in the woods in a couple of hours. We ran into our friends Marv and Mary riding their full suspension tandem.

What a great day to ride! So todays message from your Mountain Bike Coordinator is to not condemn yourself to the drugery of indoor workouts, get out and ride! Winter riding is good for the soul.
