Bonk!

Joined up with this guy for this ride in this weather. Pro tip: if you want to burn calories just sit on the edge of hypothermia for a few hours, it's the new fad diet. I didn't account for the extra burn from the cold and the route was already pushing what my legs can do right now which all culminated in the hardest bonk I've ever bonked. Misery loves company and the company was good but I wasn't feeling the love the last few miles.

Luckily we ran into this guy towards the end who was kind enough to shuttle a couple of us home who's tanks had long since run dry.

It's a really nice route, some of the finest roads around, I'll be back for more of it.

Studless

Smooth rolling street tires made my morning commute seem effortless but not having to endure the grinding 'zzzzzzzzzzzz' of the studs on pavement was the real treat. Hopefully the worst of winter is behind us.
