Cold Biking

I biked today in 20F weather.  For feet:  chemical warmers, solomon x-c overboots.  Head: snowboarder helmet with googles.  Hands:  Lobster Mitts.  I was pretty warm, actually.  Worked

the West Side Mt. Bike Trails.  There is a sweet little drop just before Al's trail down the four-wheeler trail, a little steep at the bottom but totally doable.  At the bottom of Jim's trail go right

just after the down log to avoid the down tree on the last uphill.  This is a re-routing that has

been totally approved by the City Council and the Environmentalists.  Plum Creek is ridable again, just go left where the trail is gone.  At the narrow tree opening, angle slightly to the left

and sail through.  I did the Illegal Trail along the river (sorry guys, it's there, so why not?).

Just go around the little tree and drop in.  You still have to cyclecross over the big log.
