battling mother nature

is the name of the game this weekend, no major snow hitting ohio, but the temps will hit highs today of the mid twentys with wind chills in the teens. almost heavenly compared to earlier in the week.



roller riding was the workout for me for the first part of the week - until i got my new "secret" cold weather riding weapon, my super ugly atv bar mitten contraption. they look hideous, but they are keeping my hands very toasty. no issues at all the past few days - and friday was around 15 degrees, with wind chills down to 4.



and, i have also been testing out the princeton tec switchback 2 and 3. (above shot is the 2 - the 3 uses the two main beams as well, and puts a frosted beam in the center, thus providing a wider beam).

watch out for a full review on the speedgoat blog within the next week.

damn, that's early.

been heading out around noon time. makes for a long day, but it is a little bit warmer by that time.

the trails have been beating the hell out of me - but i guess it's better then riding through 5 inches of powder.

tow path trails up in brecksville are freaking PLOWED. still some ice spots though.
