Oh, it was cold. But not too cold (~30F).

This ride took me down to the banks of Utah Lake.

New place, new pics. Spent the week in Altea, Spain and the riding is sublime…..

Great infrastructure (mostly new tarmac), great rental bike options and support, tons of cycling cafes (Velosol was awesome), and most of the Pro teams are here this week too, so you can gauge exactly how normal you are when a Lotto Soudal train comes past you on one of the climbs

From my basement!

Way too much snow and ice on the roads. Finally winter here in west Michigan. Got a ride on the trainer at least. Not exactly scenic like the prior shots from out west from other members but it's all I got!!

Got a little overzealous after my ride the other day. (There's just something about stealing January rides that never should have happened.)

Decided that two nice days in a row meant I could ride up the canyon. Wonderful ride, until it wasn't. Came around a corner toward the top of the climb, and suddenly the whole road was a sheet of ice. Hit the deck pretty good. Managed to absorb all of the impact with my body and protect the bike. Got out of it with just bruises and some hurt pride (nothing like laying on the ice unable to unclip as cars slowly drive around you to make a person humble).

Anyway, I also snapped this photo:

Glad it wasn’t too serious!

Sunny and warm today in Arizona. Mixed canal, single track, road, greenway loop.

A steep paved climb led to some new to me really fun, technical single track on the 8a and 8 trails in Phx Mtn Preserve.

The rutland 650b 2.1” are proving to be a great tire for trails and quite tolerable for the road.

click for high res!

Underbiking on the edge of Seattle.

(...immediately followed by 20-30 minutes of hiking, portaging, scrambling, and soaked feet.)

Gorgeous, 68 degrees. Recent rains mean more green than usual.

Got an unexpected ride in on vacation last week. 13" of snow when we returned and now all day cold rain. Sun and 80* was nice while it lasted.
