First Snow Spotted in Chicago

The first snow fell this past weekend.  It wasnt a lot and it was not around long but I still saw it.

Itsa comin'

Too Cold to ride the 9:Zero:7 in the 3:one:2

Shockingly cold here in the 312.  They are calling it a Polar Vortex.  You know what it really is, is just plain old fashion freezing. You know you are from Chicago when 40's is warm enough to go outside in shorts and right now typing away I have a coat on in my house.  I wish it would even get into the 20's so you could out and ride without the fear of frostbite or having your nads frozen to your seat thru your clothes!

Night Snow Biking

Fat tire riding at night in a snow storm ... doesn't get much better

First Snow of the Year!!!

First snow of the year!
It has been uncommonly warm this December.  But today after days of news reports and non-stop hype  we are getting alittle snow.
First ride this year on the 9:zero:7 and it is feeling great.
With any luck it will still be around tomorrow morning and I'll get one more short ride in.

Nice Day in fermilab

Another beautiful day in Fermilab.  Didn't see another biker the whole day.  Brisk and a little chilly with a wicked headwind on the way in but a real nice tailwind pushing on the way out.  Stopped for some tea mid-ride and did some on fine tuning of a few things such as seat positioning, handlebar rise and even the cleat placement on my new Sidi's.
