Ice Biking at Lake Harriet

Alex, Hans, and I had a good time on Lake Harriet. John is looking on from the shore. This is during the heavy snow storm that we all enjoyed this weekend. But not quite enough to shut down schools and offices. Maybe next time!

Some Favorite Stupor Bowl Pics

At sub-zero temps, my camera and its battery didn't cooperate. But, I did get a few shots. These are thumbnails, so you can click to enlarge. You can see how packed we were in part of the One on One Bike Studio for the Stupor Bowl X. As you can see, it was a friendly crowd. I think between 200 and 300 riders were there.

-9F and Dropping

It was a GREAT day. Completed 11 of the 19 stops and picked up all the poker cards. More on that later. Jeff is OK and hit several stops, too. For memory's sake, here is the weather during part of today. My total miles were 43. I brought home all my body parts.

Anyone ready for Stupor Bowl XI? Yo, over here! Saturday, February 2. And I'm hittin' all them stops!

Dressing for Success

How does someone dress for a 3-hour outdoor bike race? In the winter? When windchill is MINUS 35F and the high temp of the day is only -2F? That's the forecast for today on Stupor Bowl Saturday! Yeah! Check out My overall clothing scheme. Really, with a little planning, anyone can enjoy cold winter weather very comfortably. You can do it! There's nothing like riding out in sub-zero temps and being "dressed for success" because you will feel like you have super powers!

On really cold days like today I wear most but not all of those layers. You can see all the stuff in the bag (I really don't take the first aid kit, but it's a good idea in theory). Finally, here is my night visibility stuff.

Later this month I'm going to assist with a winter commuting clinic, so I'm thinking about putting together a pamphlet. I'd be interested in hearing your comments for what you like to use for cold weather riding.

Cars-R-Coffins Visit

Visited Cars-R-Coffins coffee shop today to see StuporBowl X artifacts and check out the scene. Cool stuff! The photo of the people running is the start of a previous Stupor Bowl. The poster is for this year's event (10th annual). The other is just a snapshot I took in the coffee shop. The crowd was pleasant...I sort of expected something rougher. I'm looking forward to the race!
