Who is that masked man?


Could it be Levi, Chris, Lance? No but they have great cold weather gear. 2 hours 20 mins of gravel in 20 degrees weather this weekend and still comfortable. I heard we've had a record number days of snow cover this winter. No wonder I was getting cabin fever. Come on spring!

FROSTY GRAVEL RIDING - MONDAY

- THE CREW -
MEETING AT OUR FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP
KNOWING THAT IT WAS FOGGY
BUT NO IDEA OF JUST HOW FOGGY
SOME OF THE SNOW DRIFTS WERE ABOVE OUR HEADS

I can't think of a better way to celebrate one of the most important days of the year.
The life of the Martin Luther King.
A day of no cards, no feasts, no gifts, no shopping, no traveling
A day of celebrating peace and freedom.
Thanks MLK
FOGGY AND FROSTY
WITH A STOP IN NEW HARTFORD
TENDERLOINS AND FRIES WERE JUST THE THING TO THAW THINGS OUT
GOT ANOTHER 40 MILES IN THE LEGS
