RAGBRAI LI Registration is Now Open!

What's the coldest temps you've ridden in this winter???

OK, I know this subject is not quite as interesting as “Amanda’s legs” but it’s all I’ve got right now!!!!  Today was my coldest so far, it was 28 degrees, no snow or ice, not much wind and it was a nice ride.  Now, it’s beer and football.  Life is good!!!!

Evidently it has been too cold for me since I haven’t ridden yet.

Did the football games turn out to your liking?

As an Eagles and Chiefs fan I would have to say, NO!  Very frustrating to watch, but hats off to the Packers.  They played very well and kept the Eagles guessing.

I loved the Seattle win yesterday.

Looks like 6-9″ of snow coming my way tonight.  Boo!

Yes, I agree I liked the Seahawks win over the Saints.  I also wanted the Eagles to beat the Packers but so much for wanting!  My beer & chili tasted great anyway!!!!

I heard Philly has opened a new retirement home called “Vick Akers.”  It is a very peaceful place where nothing exciting ever happens and guys never score.   LOL

The Tour de Tugaloo started out at about 46.  After that I become a wimp and move it indoors.
We got about three inches of snow so I expect to be snowed in for at least the next three days now.

right now looks as if we are close to the 5 inch line for snowfall by the time this moves through, western Iowa 7-11 inches. Sorry Amanda, but you can keep it out there.

I went for a ride on one of our coldest days. It was 41 out and I looked like the kid from a christmas story.

Pretty sure the thermometer read 22 this morning at 5:30 – cold enough to freeze a water bottle!

Coldest so far was 15 I think, although 28 and 20+mph winds were far worse.

I’ve ridden 70 miles outside this year already!
