When you're biking to the trail to meet your buddies on a Saturday afternoon and the wind is so fierce that you shed a tear. And then the tear freezes to the inside of your Jawbones. Yeah, that's cold! Aaron was back in town to take care of some business and he decided to bring his bike. Man Aaron, you really know how to choose the best day for biking. It was darn right cold out. My phone said it was 22 degrees, but with the wind, the "RealFeel" was 6. We met up with Paul and went for a go at Tranquility.
This was Aaron's first time at Tranquility since the new north side has been built. We all had a good time. We attempted to stay out of the wind as much as possible. Problem is that you sweat on those more intense sections, then it just turns cold and dampens your clothes. Most of the time, I was fairly warm. I think the coldest was riding to the trail and coming back. That wind!
Where did the trail go?
Down by the creek, close to where the finish line is at for the races, there has been a lot of dirt and rock dumping. We were joking and guessing where the dirt came from. They take away the dirt at Tranquility then they bring it right back. Good riding with you Aaron and thanks to Paul for feeding us.
My 10 minute ride to work Saturday morning had me hurting the most of any ride this winter. The wind was so cold it burned exposed skin around my eyes.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be Tranquility if we didn't have to reroute something every year. The southside has always been a source of dirt and place to dump trees, pavement, etc. from the park department. It's cool a mtb trail is flexible and can roll with the changes.
