So we stayed over in Bethlehem after the Valentine's Day and I figured I would bring my gravel bike for the wider tires and better traction. About a mile from the hotel, I stopped to take a photo by wife's Alma Mater and when passing from the street to the sidewalk, black ice took me down pretty hard on my ribs. So, did I go back to the hotel. . .

I rode the rest of the way to Muddy Waters in Asbury (not that Asbury) and it was a pretty good restaurant. Icing the ribs now.

Had a day off planned for something else that got canceled but since it was gonna be 45-50F out and because our new vacation policy doesn’t limit the precise number of days I took off anyway so I could ride.

Met up with the WFH crew and we did some hard random efforts out towards Califon felt good just a few days after my metric Saturday. Rode alongside the Columbia trail it’s still FatBike only terrain for sure.

Started out cloudy and damp and it really warmed up and the sun was strong felt great. Warm enough to wear leg warmers and not winter bibs. If I had more time would have extended it more my other buddy did a metric. Glad to get out on such a nice day.
