First Snow Ride

Despite the snow storm on our way to the race yesterday there was no snow on the course and there was none in the air while we raced. Today, though, was the first ride with snow in the air. Four of us went out on the trails with the mountain bikes. Temperatures were in the mid-twenties. Once we got going, we stayed pretty warm but our water was freezing up

A cycling friend from southern Pennsylvania sent me this picture of Andy Hampsten in the 1988 Giro. This could be the riding conditions pretty soon.
