First ride in the snow

Sunday I went for a short ride in the forest, it was the first ride in the snow this winter. It was so much fun that I can't wait for the next chance for another ride. Sadly my battery was dying so I couldn't take pictures but at least I could record the ride :)

PS: I was so busy lately that I forgot that 4 years have passed since I started this blog...

One more winter ride

Last Sunday I went for a ride in the forest. Last week the temperature was high so most of the snow has melted and there was a lot of mud. Before the weekend it started to snow and on Saturday a few centimeters of snow was covering the mud. I hoped that there is enough snow so I went for a ride.

There was enough snow in the forest so it was a nice ride. It was slippery because of the wet snow and soe mud but it was a lot of fun.

My bike computer is not working so I don't know the statistics of the ride, but it was about 20 km long and way too much fun :)

This was probably the last snowy ride, spring is just around the corner.

Winter rides

I had three rides this year in the snow, but I was to lazy to upload the pictures.

The first ride was a bit muddy, but it was fun:

The second ride was partly in the forest and partly on the road which was wet so i had to put all my clothes in the washing machine.

The last ride was this Saturday and I recorded it on Strava, and I will probably track my next rides to.

Stats:
 - distance: 12, 3 km
 - time: 1:39:04
 - average speed: 7,4 km/h
 - max speed: 27,3 km/h

First real winter ride

Before Christmas I went out for the first real snow ride this winter. The forest was very beautiful and the ride was very cool. The snow was just perfect, not too frozen but not to wet eater. The bike was slipping a bit but I didn't fall. I was feeling the lack of outdoor training and although I had two sock and an overshoe my big toes got frozen.

We had a little photo shoot also and here are the best pictures:

And my favorite picture:

More pictures here.

On this ride I tested my Christmas present that I got from myself, a pair of hand warmers which were great so only my toes were cold.

Stats:

 - distance: 15,33 km

 - average speed: 12,7 km/h

 - maximum speed: 38,2 km/h

 - time: 1:11:59

In the forest again

Last Saturday I went for a ride in the forest. It was a little warmer then last week and there was no fog this time. But the snow was frozen so the bikes were slipping a lot. It was a good ride anyways, it's nice to get out in the forest in this time of the year.

Here are some pictures:

A nice Saturday in the white forest

Last Saturday I went with my friend for a ride in the forest. It was a little cold, about -10 degrees Celsius but like they say, there is no bad weather only bad clothes. I hat tho pairs of socks, two pairs of trousers (one winter bike trouser and one ski trouser), a t-shirt, two long sleeve shirts and a wind stopper. At first my hands were a bit cold but I got warm very fast and then I was sweating. Here are a few pictures:

Where did the city disappear?

concentrate!

It was a nice one and a half hour ride, my top speed was almost 35 km/h on snow and ice. I hope I can go for a ride this weekend to :)

Winter on my favorite training path

Sunday I was in the forest and I took some pictures. I hope the snow won't melt and I can go for a ride this weekend.
