Anyone else out there crazy enough to ride their bike to work today?
I can picture you riding down a snow covered road, dressed like the little brother from "A Christmas Story"....... Listening to Queen on headphones ("I like to ride my bicycle")......... ding ding.......
My bike club met last night for dinner. Let's just say that the idea of BRR next week met with a less than enthusiastic response.
Long term weather looks decent - 28 degrees.
I ride to work regularly during the summer. Its an eleven mile one-way ride and I have a lot of elevation to deal with.
Two winters ago I rode most of the winter. I rode in temperatures as cold as -30 degrees and it is dark when I'm riding. I wear insulated bicycling boots to protect my feet, and have studed bicycle tires.

Hey next weekend is the Brrrr Ride from Perry to Ripey. I welcome you to come and take a ride. Only 25 miles and plenty of beer. A cold ride but short one.
25 miles......thats short. I would probably die if i tried to that right now.

I have limits. I put my bicycle into storage for this winter.
There is a group of bicyclists that pedal no matter how cold it is in Fairbanks. The temperatures there can be 60 below and they have crazies that will still bicycle.
A couple winters ago, I ran into a group that was pedaling all over western Alaska by bicycle. There trip was that much more remarkable considering there are no roads to pedal on.
