I pulled out my old mountain bike – the one I used for my very first tri season – and had a go at some snow riding.   First I rode up and down the flat part of my street, just to test it.  It was slippery, but as long as I controlled my speed, it was alot of fun!   I lowered the saddle so I could put my leg out quickly whenever I started to wipe out.

Moving my legs felt really good on the sore muscles.  So,  ventured out farther and ended up riding for 50 minutes.    It was a beautiful day for a bike ride, and I had alot of fun.   It was more of an exercise in balance to ride on the icey roads, than a hard workout.   The only hard parts were when the snow was thick and slushy.

I brought along my action cam video camera and took some shots.  The camera does not pick up voices very well, and there is no anti-shake.   But it gives a good sense of the fun I had today…
