Holy Crap It's Cold

It's been below freezing for what seems like months. But, really, the past two weeks or so. In the last 45 days I've been able to ride outside once. And it was short and depressing.

How cold is it? Well, my normal route goes through a park with a lake and a "dripping" waterfall. For your pleasure here are some photos:

Roughly the same spot today.


Other side of the lake, boat launch.


The "dripping" springs drip no more.


So, as you can see, there's no way in hell I'd be out there riding these last few weeks. Oddly, I've seen some of the hardcore guys out there riding. I respect them, but I am not envious. I'm nuts, but I'm not completely crazy.
