What's Slowing You Down?

I was going to name this post, "Only in Minnesota!" or something of the likes. Oh yet alas we change perceptions. So today was a tid 10 degrees high temp. Still, I saw many people on lakes fishing, skiing, skating, wind skate'n and walking. Yeah, a dad walking his infant in a front infant carry pack too "on the lake" (10 degrees outside!). Huh~ It's cold with slight chill wind too boot, but people OUTSIDE. You?

Nice ride from my house through brownie trail, up to the parkway then back down onto brownie lake, across cedar, to Calhoun across Calhoun and back across again all three. Scary, ice was 10 inches min thick but such a trip crossing a lake over ice. Cracks, air bubbles, clear ice, cloudy ice, deep lake under. Just weird....but intriguing and very enjoyable. I'm not an ice guy like all the peep out there today.

Nice ride to flush out what I've been asking of the legs. Wind in face a treat hammering across Calhoun. I finally have helmet vented right, also face mask situated for face and ears proper. Before my forehead would get sweaty. Ears would get cold at speed or below 15 degrees. No more. Pics tell equipment story better..

so exciting i know
