RP2IPBP - Freezing Cold & Crystal Clear

The first sub zero C ride. -3C at the time he rolled out of his yard. But sun and crystal clear sky. Photo perfect day, so he packed his big lens. 1st time he added the warmest layer of his wardrobe and he needed it to stay in comfort. However, it took all the hilly route out to Wildwood to get some what warm and shed the outer wind breaking layer off.

Here are a few impressions seen from Reeves Ave.

And at IPBP:




Back on the road, a nice yellow tunnel...



The temp does slowly rose up a bit, but the wind and air was still cold. But the sun made it nice and warmed his face a bit. On the way back a little more head wind and two stupid big patches of black ice -- half the road was frozen over, as some dude must still water his lawn (and the road) -- not to mention honking drivers on this little road (Middle Road) as he used a bit more of the road usually to share with the cars, as 1/2 of this lane was all frozen over -- is not safe going on ice. But some how honking is good, tells Py the driver recognized him :-)

And, last note -- this ride adds 13 points (almost 14, but it was too cold -- the waiting hot shower and Pineapplecheespuff in his backpack were too tempting -- for completing the missing 5 minutes some where around the block) for a total of 112 and put PyZahl up to position 1 in his Winterpokal. 89km in the cold should do it for today.
