The first real snow came down on monday and I really wanted to ride and play, but I have done too much play-riding recently and not enough training. So I was very grown up and went out on the xc bike with studded tires and did a road ride of 20 km. It was cold and boring, but probably good for me. The snow makes everything beautiful, but the going is slow, I used about 10 minutes more than I usually do! Dressing for the cold is a challenge too. Too much clothing and you sweat uphill and freeze downhill, to little and you stiffen up. I taped up my shoes to stop airflow, but by the end of my ride I couldn't feel my toes. Oh well, better keep at it or I won't be in shape to enjoy next years good weather. No pain, no gain. No freezing my bolx off, no fun next season.
