Winter!!! Already???

So it appears Summer is far gone, Fall is over, and Winter is unwelcomely here....damn.  When I was a kid (100 years ago), I used to love winter.  Now...







If that is too harsh...




So who will be riding through the winter??

EnglishJim curls (cuz he can't skate) through the winter, so we may not see him for a while.  However, I do owe him many thanks...he has done some mechanical magic on my truck to keep it road worthy...he likes to 'tinka' (that's British for 'tinker')....as he calls it.  However, Lois figures that since I have a friend to help work on my truck, she could have a handyman work on the house, so I came home to this one day...


I'm sure I made that bed that morning.  Oh well....he does good work!

CptSydor has dragged me out for some wintery CX rides.




Giant also rides though the winter, I have dragged him out a couple of times.  The BicycleWorks gang all have fatbikes to make winter riding a little easier...




There were a couple of days where the snow got a little deep...




But nothing like Buffalo (just an hours drive from here!) got...




Really if you dress properly, it's all good!!


Don't forget your pets....




This was on our deck this week....


Anyways...back to MTB....

Some of the local trails are close due to bow hunting season....I made the mistake of going to check them out in my buddy's airplane...



Apparently bowhunters do not appreciate noise...

What else have I learned this month??



You think this confused me???  Well I saw this while out on a local ride....



Someone had been drinking....maybe it was me.




Well, I am really getting woefully off track here...

Perhaps I need a coach??

Actually, after my disappointing showing during this last race season, I need to focus and work to improve, not just maintain, over the winter.  There are so many competitors I need to keep up with...the Rock & Road Race team; some of the Lapdogs; JeffS; serious; dskunk; Oggie....and all the others that continuously kicked my arse this year.

Well, it is snowing out....guess it's time to get out for a winter ride!!

Will Fig have his kid before my next post???

Stay posted!!

And Happy Grey Cup Weekend!!!
