ONE COLD JANUARY
AND AN EVEN WORSE
FEBRUARY

That has been one heck of a winter. Fortunately there have been some warmish days towards the end of February and I got out for a few nice, although wet (melting snow) rides
mostly on the road and paved paths.
There is just too much ice on the
trails to make riding possible.

This winter has not only been unusual for the cold weather but also for changing of my usual winter ride.
I've got an old GT Avalanche that has been my winter go-to bike for years.
Funny thing though looking back on
using it I'd end up with a sore knee.
I didn't use it this winter and no sore knee so there is some link there.
I'm pretty good at getting consistent
bike set up for fit but something
is just off on the old GT.

I can't wait for that first trail ride of
2026. With all of the snow it is going to be some time before things
dry out properly. Patience!
