RP2IPBP - windy and feeling really cold

After a tough cold week and a lost long weekend of riding due to extreme temperatures and more snow storms, this Saturday was just fine again. Last week Py got one RRL ride and one good 10k Bluestone in -- better than nothing.

But today he did his RP2IPBP once again, C was unfortunately not available but Py was glad Ed showed up 'en route. They were flying out East most the time. Roads were partly wet and pretty much dirty, salty sandy wet mess at times -- enough to get the bike messy and needing a full clean after the ride.

At IPBP two fearless Windsurfers were giving some show time to watch for a while... There was ice and snow on the beach and ice covering the pear... They were playing on a very rough Sound in a strong and gusty North-North-West wind.

In the meanwhile Py was working (chewing) on his Cliff bar what was kind of cold and hard to eat...

On the there way back toward Mill Rd this nice looks in frozen lake:



The way back was just cold and it was getting even colder as temperatures were dropping already toward freezing. Wet meting water puddles were already getting slushy and are expected to turn into black ice very soon... -- as long as they not dry off in time -- Argggg.

13 WP Points -- that's good and was about time.
