Today's mileage: 10.17
Today's temperature: 48F
The last couple weeks have been brutal. The temperatures have been below zero at night and in the single digits and teens in the daylight hours. I should have been going to Snap Fitness to keep in shape, but with Christmas shopping, church programs and family visiting, there wasn't enough time. Now with Christmas over, the only honey-do project on the immediate horizon is taking down the Christmas lights. I will likely hear about the lights on every warm day from now until they come down.
Well, today I decided to get out on the bike and check out the battery replacement in the Trek Incite ACH. It worked great! The bad battery in the wireless sensor that measured 12 volts was the culprit. It was perfect cycling weather (for me). I had a beautiful sunny day, light winds and temperatures between 46 and 48 degrees. I saw plenty of walkers and a few cyclists on the Antelope Creek Trail SE of Holmes Lake. There was only one small patch of ice that was in the shade and hadn't melted from Friday's 61 degree temps. As the photo above shows, Holmes Lake is still frozen enough for ice skaters. The 3 guys behind the "No Swimming" sign were actually playing hockey. There was also a large flock of geese over near the dam, but you probably can't see them in the photo. I am going to try to bike to work the next couple of days. The weather is supposed to be nice through Tuesday with highs in the 40's.
