 Another Rough Day
Opted out of skiing this morning as it was in the single digits. Planned on going out on the mountain bike in the afternoon with a friend but he opted out as the weather didn't get above freezing though it was supposed to approach forty. Finally got up near freezing at around three and I went out and repeated yesterday's ride up the snowy trail to Millport. Thought that the sun might have melted some of the snow and today would be easier but had no such luck. Actually was harder today as the wind was strong out of the south so I had to go uphill in the snow with a headwind. Several walkers had been on the trail today and roughed up the snow within a mile or so of the trailheads and it was sort of like riding across a freshly plowed field. Really taxed the legs again today and struggled to keep the bike moving forward. Made it though and had an easy cruise back down the highway with a strong tailwind. Still was frigid and not the most pleasent of rides. Did some minor damage to my right calf with the strain but spun the stiffness out on the trainer when I got back to the warmth of the house.
