Winter Riding

I won’t be winning any fashion awards for my stellar cycling gear this winter.  I hate winter riding.  It’s cold, usually wet, and it’s cold. But I guess if I’m going to become one with my inner cycling spirit this year the best way to do this is to embrace the awkward layers of clothing and ride.

I wasn’t counting on commiserating with anyone, building friendships or, for that matter, other crazies who wanted to ride farther and climb higher.  Cheers to these brilliant spirited women and an iPhone to capture it.
