Back at the scene of the New Year’s Polar Bear Dip. Two days later it’s twenty degrees colder.
I don’t need no stinkin’ bike trainer. It might have been -15º with a windchill of -20º, but that’s no excuse. It’s not like I don’t have warm enough clothing, and there’s no snow on the ground. I wasn’t the only person who had this idea either. On my Humber River loop I usually run into dozens of riders. This time I saw two other non-commuters.
It’s so cold out that my water bottle froze shut.
The ice was about a half inch thick. Luckily I was only out for an hour and a half, and I had properly hydrated before leaving.
Biking outside?! Now that’s brave… although, if our roads were clear I probably would have been tempted to take my new ride for a spin!
The new site looks great! Congrats!
Thank goodness it wasn’t that cold for your dip! I’m having Seinfeld flashbacks.
Thanks Marlene. I’m reasonably happy with it so far! There are only a few months left of this cold, but I hate how dirty the roads are in the spring.
I don’t think I’ve seen that episode yet. Is that the one where they’re at Tom’s Diner?
