Andy and I hit up Tranq Saturday night for a little night ride. It was 22 degrees when we started at about 7:20 PM from the upper PL at the ice rink and 18 degrees when we finished. We were able to get in 1.5 laps. My light ran out after a bit more than a lap, so we were relying on Andy's light, which promptly started to dim. We rode back up the hill by the apartments pretty much in the dark, but there was enough ambient light, it wasn't a big deal. The fingertips took it pretty hard the first 1/2 lap until we started generating some heat, then all was well. The frozen ground was great...gobs of traction.
Sorry, no pics...it was too cold to dig out the camera!
Large group out for the ride last night. It was a great night for a ride, the temps were just right. It was cool watch all the lights weaving up down and through the single track. Might be the last good night ride before the freezing temps arrive. More pics over here. Stratomatica was the photo journalist for the ride. (great pics) Thanks for the good ride..
Well we decied to go ahead and see what the trial was like. It has been real dry so what little rain probably wouldnt affect the trail. We were right, the trail was in good shape except for a couple of greasy corrners. Tires packed up a little , but did not do any damage to the trail. I thought is was a great night for a ride. Brian and I went over to Pauls for a cold one after the ride. (Thanks for the brew)
Well the rain\snow did hold off last night for the ride. Rode a couple laps with Brian, Dan, Dale, and Paul. I thought it would be a lot colder with the north wind but it ended being pretty nice. After the ride Brian treated us with some Fat Tire, it tasted great. ( Thanks again Brian)..
