Cold weather

The weather has been getting colder this month, and that has meant dragging out more layers.  I heard a recent saying that there isn't such thing as inclement weather, just inapproprite gear.  There is a lot of truth to that statement.  I have been bargain hunting on closeout winter weather gear, and now is a good time to stock up on things that you can use for a few months and then put away for next year.  

It has been raining here in WNC so the trails have been mush.  We have been riding the gravel roads to spin the legs.  Looks like this week the trails will be frozen, high on Friday to only reach 20 degrees.  


A winter race is coming up at Fontana Village, the Icycle Mountain Bike Event, January 31, 2009.  So for anyone wanting to test their winter fitness this is a good one.
