My sister and brother in law got a Schwinn bike trainer. So I did 30 minutes and just over 10 miles on it. It’s in the main room so everyone was watching me or playing super heroes! Much better than the basement.

Joe and I took the fat bikes out in the dark am! We rode 45 North, Condrum, and the Back 40 for a total of 7.5 miles. It was about 20f and the trails were in great shape for riding. We only saw a handful of other riders and when we stopped it was nearly quiet. A great morning to ride!

At -5f air temp this morning I thought it was time to break out the bike.
Ok, so I setup my trainer in the basement last night and rode it this morning! Don’t worry, I’m not quite that crazy. Well… at least not going to try it in the dark before work. So I rode about 8.4 miles while watching some TED talks!
My basement is kind of in a transitional mess right now. Moving things around to get a better workout area setup. So I accidentally set the trainer up underneath some of the pipes for the boiler which means that I have a little heater right above me that I definitely don’t need! I’ll need to move that soon!

Bike commute today. It was cool both ways, but rainy on the way there. This time I remembered all of my rain gear!! Rain cap for my helmet, check. Rain coat, check. Rain pants, check. Rain covers for my shoes, check. I stayed 98% dry. My feet were a little damp and I had one wet spot on my pants – which just happened to be in the crotch area! It dried fairly quickly – at least no one said anything to me. It was kind of funny as my legs felt warm and my arms were chilly. I was wearing a short sleeve jersey under my rain coat!
On the way home I had a headwind for the Westward ride and it was pretty strong. I felt warm overall.
11 miles.
