Cold one at the Nox

Trying to keep up the no excuses attitude to riding, I decided to head down to the Nox today despite forecasts of light snow and sleet. Sometimes I wish I had a recording device to record the random thoughts that run through my head on rides. Probably wouldn't been very interesting 90% of the time, but occasionally something useful pops into mind. Learned a couple of things today.

1) I don't like to wear a camelback. Just having that much extra weight on my back bothers me and throws off my balance and weight distribution on the bike. Maybe I just need to ride with one more, but hopefully I won't have to use one in any races this year.

2) Still can't figure out how to dress. Although, I was pretty close this time.

3) Icy roots suck.

4) I love fat monster truck tires

5) Fat monster truck tires don't roll fast.

Anyway, I got in a decent 4-4.5 hour ride today. Slow going with having to stop to eat, remove layers, or whatever.
