Cold Weather Riding

[the Ferret]

It was a balmy 21 degrees and sunny for today's 32-mile ride. Might be the last one for a little while. They are calling for a bunch of snow starting tomorrow morning, and arctic lows with a zero temp Tuesday morning. If we get the snow they are calling for, the roads won't be clear enough to ride for a few days at a minimum, especially our private road. I've been stuck in for a couple weeks after a bad snowstorm before. You can tell they are serious about this winter storm...first time brining the roads in my area this year (those white stripes in the pic below that I took on today's ride). The salt/organic beet juice brine is sprayed on the roads and is supposed to prevent the snow from sticking.
