Sat. 3/1/08

Eric, Dave, Jim T, Dr. Tim, Jeff and myself headed out from Dunn Brothers at 9:00am this morning. Temps were close to 10 degrees and the winds were from the SSW and starting to pick up. So we headed out of town and then went south. We hit some ice just past Weather Hill. Good thing Dr. Tim talked us onto CX bikes, as we headed south the roads were no much better. There were quite a few spots where the road surface was pure ice, so we white-knuckled our way over the slick spots. By the time we turned north the winds had picked up to closer to 15 or 20 mph. We made a jog to the east to add a few more miles and it was real evident that the wind was stronger (or at least it made us colder). Then we headed north again and back into town. Nice ride guys. Tomorrow's forecast sounds a bit iffy, with a 40% change of rain or freezing rain. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Oh, and thanks Dave for taking it easy on us...
