There may has been a Trevors ride this morning, PyZahl does not know because he decided that is too freaking cold this early morning for any early birds flying and possibly been dropped on the way back against the NNW wind what would be double worse at this conditions than usual...

Waiting for better times, well, it seamed the wind calmed a bit down towards noon and the mercury climbed its way up to some number close to 26F.
PyZahl put his polar suit on filled almost hot water in his Polar bottle and jumped for a quick hilly ride on his bike, especially to try out his new saddle, it felt different.
Riding out on east NC, passing the Duck Pond, doing the WR hills, proceeding to WWSP and out south to 25A on Hulse Landing Rd



-- that big puddle looked good for ice skating -- and back, down to WWSP beach, returning to WR -- the fast DH felt like needles in his face, then a cruise out to the WR beach.


A quick snack, PyZahl was doing hard eating the Cliff bar which really lived up to its name as it was hard like a cliff. And last but not least, the warm water in the insulated bottle turned almost icy. **** A hot shower never felt as good...
