Did the traditional "Long New Years ride", alas, not a Bud Sieple Memorial Century due to the cold. Big Mt. loop up at the Pinnacle/Port Clinton instead. Here's the raw data:
Temps: 16 degrees at start, 22 degrees at finish
# of riders: 6 at start, 4 at finish
# of roadies in attendance: 2 at start, 1 at finish
Total climbing: about 3,400 feet
Total miles: about 18
Total time out: 5 hours
Total riding time: don't ask
Total times lost: only once
Times Robbie has ridden with Joey in the cold on his Marin: 2
Times Joey's Marin has broken riding w/Rob in the cold: 2
Thanks to Matt for climbing part of the climb 2X so I could use his chain-tool.
Thanks to Brent Morehouse for riding mountain bikes for the first time in 10 years. It was a pleasure -- see you again in 2019.
Oh yeah, we were right there, but we forgot to go check out the view at the Pinnacle. Duh...
