Minor Improvement
A jeep or a truck went down the utility gravel road at Nesh and made it rideable, so that was nice. However the trails are worse than last week, the slightly warmer temps melted and refroze all the ice chunks, meh.

I will still play along this month but my focus will also be more cross training and not about riding hours.
Did the rower sunday and then work/life prevented any other activities yesterday. Decided last night to get in some hard effort this morning before office day so did one of the TdZ races (stage 5). I am back to D category because I dont race often enough to maintain it, which is also fine because I dont have the same fitness I did back in the fall after all those months of training for my charity ride.
3 rides - warm up, race, cool down.

Missing my bike, if I had studded tires I would be out but my feet have been doing great taking me through the trail. This seems like the first real winter we had in some time, truthfully I am enjoying it!

That’s cool. I’ve never been brave enough to cycle up to Blairsdown. Didn’t realize it’s that accessible.

Went out around town today... happy to see upper 30's and the sun getting to work on the snow

Did some stream recon. They were either buried in snow or flowing. Not exactly the ice trail I'm looking for.
What is SZ MPH?

I am guessing the Forbidden forest is untraversable?

This is ride is Bedminster. Blairstown is a little farther. This is the route I used a few years ago to meet my wife in Blairstown: https://connect.garmin.com/app/activity/8915866484

I finagled my WFH days this week so I could be home today for the heatwave and ride outdoors. Last outdoor ride was Jan 16th!
While it wasn’t 5F out it certainly didn’t feel “winter warm” I think all the snow on the ground and the wind just made the air feel much colder despite the sun. It took almost the full hour or so I was out to warm up.
Just did a localish cruise around since my legs are kinda beat from my race yesterday and then had to get back for more work meetings. Some roads were ok some still very narrow and no shoulder so avoiding heavy traffic roads was key.
Back to indoors tmw due to work and life demands.

Cold, but nice. Good to be back outside again.
The eagles are back at the old power pole condo.
