I hurried out to the Cove this morning to sneak in a ride. Went to the boat dock side of the Cove since time wasn't too free today. I had just enough time to sneak in a short ride. I am really glad it's December because it was almost difficult at times today! Not technical wise, but pedaling wise. I've been off the bike for a while and cardio on ellipticals, treadmills and the bike trainer are just not the same. Anyway, I really enjoyed my jaunt from the boat dock to the picnic table on Schoolhouse and back. I got in about 9 miles of riding in about 1hr 15minutes. Took some pictures while out today. It was funny as there was ice in places and a lot of frozen mud. Saw a few deer, but no other wildlife. Only encountered one other human. He was hiking in as I was leaving. It was cold enough today that the security dude only came to the door to look at my pass. I didn't get out either. I just held it up to the window. HA! I guess he had more sense than me. I am going to try to get a patrol ride in tomorrow on Mill Mtn. Time will be limited too as we're going to Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg for a Christmas program.
I've decided my next bike accessory will be boots of some type for riding. I was comfortable today with the exception of my toes being ice cubes. I had on regular bike socks with wool socks over top.
