May 18, 2024,It’s always good to ride in the rain

Saturday morning club ride. It started raining about 10 mins in - but it helps to keep your bike handling skills sharp!

October 19, 2024,To Moose Hill in the cold

The sun rises around 7. The temperature was 4C. And it wasnt until 1 h into the ride that the sun warmed up my body.

But riding in the cold is refreshing every now and again, and today was one of those days.

Nice pumpkin patch too!
