Bad For Bike?

Pic stole from Sauber County Cycles

Showed a few hours early to squeeze an hour in before the 2.5 hour group ride. 34 degrees. That first hour it was still warm enough that the water/mud spray was constant (I honestly had numb butt syndrome). Later on group ride ground started to re-freeze the slop. It was warmer. 9 riders. Afterward 8 made it to the saloon for greasy recovery food. Burn it off - get faster, go to the greasy spoon - put it on get slower. All worth it, good times.

Before the Solo Hour

After being outside for 4.5 hours, biked 3.5 or more
