Had a nice day of skiing on the Westside of Berthoud Pass today. I got a nice looking Panoramic taken with wide angle though.

Saturday, October 29th, 2011Contempt of a Warm Road
Friday, October 28th, 2011I rode home from work at 0440 hours last Wednesday during Colorado’s first statewide snow storm. My upper body fared well, but my lower extremities with ice sheets for pants did not. For most of the ride I was able to pedal hard and fast to keep my legs moderately warm. However, towards the end as the chain started slipping and the speed decreased the chills set in. By the time I got home I was borderline hypothermic….or maybe completely hypothermic.
My icy filled water boots were frozen shut and I had to knife the laces to get out. Then, well I’ll just say I ended up wrapped in a blanket on the couch for a bit. After a few moments on the couch is when I realized the bike was coated with maybe a pound of ice as I heard it melting onto the entry pad of our home.
I also wrote something with the above title, but waiting to see if I can publish it else where before it goes up here.
