I pulled out my old mountain bike – the one I used for my very first tri season – and had a go at some snow riding. First I rode up and down the flat part of my street, just to test it. It was slippery, but as long as I controlled my speed, it was alot of fun! I lowered the saddle so I could put my leg out quickly whenever I started to wipe out.
Moving my legs felt really good on the sore muscles. So, ventured out farther and ended up riding for 50 minutes. It was a beautiful day for a bike ride, and I had alot of fun. It was more of an exercise in balance to ride on the icey roads, than a hard workout. The only hard parts were when the snow was thick and slushy.
I brought along my action cam video camera and took some shots. The camera does not pick up voices very well, and there is no anti-shake. But it gives a good sense of the fun I had today…
It had a white border, so it was an optional stop sign!
entertaining at 9 PM – hey you missed the stop sign Carol! jk
Snow biking?! Now that’s brave! 🙂
Glad to see (literally) that you made it out. Probably not too often that you get a chance for an adventure like this in NC!
