Wind Chill 17F

After a long cold, missed rides and boarding, PyZahl was getting very nervous and needed fresh air. The sun was bright and the sky steel blue and clear, but a steady icy NW wind was blowing, he waited almost until noon to let the air warm up just little above freezing...


Riding out on North Country, taking his favorite hills warming up was quick, but the extra wind protection was a must to keep the arctic wind away. A few patches of black ice, sand and salt mix all over made road looking like dried out creeks at sections and some not so welcome thick frozen over sections were forcing PyZahl to very slow motion... but a easy ride out in the sun with tail wind... let PyZahl already thinking on the long way home with the wind in his face...

All the way out along the "tanks" to Iron Pier Beach Park several frozen ponds and a nice view to the rough Bay...


A very quick stop.


And back home, PyZahl picked up a bag of apples and a great looking apple pie as he stopped at a farm stand half way back and stowed away 1kg in his Camelbag -- back home, a hot shower never felt so good and the apple pie turned out to be on of the best he ever had :-)
