Saturday: Classic XC Ski with Curvy Butt and Declan -
 |
| "Declan! Stop your whinning. Freezing temperatures builds character." Frigid afternoon temperatures had us starting at about 2pm in - 28 C. P10 up the Fortune Parkway to Huron. Beauty day out! |
 |
| New dump of snow and excellent grooming made the track set pristine. |
 |
| Huron Shelter. |
 |
| Doh! A deer . . . a female deer. About five of them actually feeding outside the cabin at the birdfeeder picking up the spill over from the Chickadees and Jays. |
Sunday: Fatbike Ride with Fritz -
Scheduling conflicts had us start early at 9 am with -31 C temperatures out in the South March Highlands. Frig-gin cold!
 |
| Fritz's Fatback and my Mukluk on Pete's Wicked. Second ride on the Mukluk - got out Thursday night during the dumping we got in and around my neighborhood. Man, what a work out - between the resistance of the tires and the snow, you work like a pig dog, but so much fun! You should buy |
 |
| Fatties for a fatty. |
 |
| Fritz nailed the apparel with a ski helmet and goggles. My feet got pretty cold wearing cycling shoes, a pair of old wool socks with the bottoms cut out around the cleat and a pair of neoprene booties over top. The old just come through the bottom of the shoe via the metal cleat. |
 |
| Despite the frigid temps I remained warm - and why wouldn't I ? You work hard. But what's not to love - you're outside, on single track, getting a workout in and it's fun as hell. I'm glad I sold the trainer and am not sitting in my basement watching TV going nowhere fast. |
 |
| This porcupine that we passed didn't seem to mind the temperatures or us. |
 |
| Me on M-Line. |
 |
| Nothing better than a bubble bath, baguette sandwich and a coke after an early morning winter ride. |
