Finally, after weeks of indoor training we got outside for a nice 2.5 hour ride. Well, that statement make the ride sound simple but we started our ride in the afternoon so many of the back roads where turning into mud with a little ice here and there. The stiff breeze mad it difficult to decide on keep a lay on or shedding it. By the time we finished most of us where soaked from the mud and / or the sweat from being over dressed. It took almost as long to clean the bike as it did to ride it. But I guess that is winter riding!
