A winter bike ride

Rode the bike today, December 3rd, 2019, Tuesday. The weather was a typical December winter day, overcast with little sunshine and about 34 degrees F. Rode a little over 25 miles with an elevation gain of more than 1000 feet. The bike was my Jamis steel frame cyclocross bike with winter studded snow tires! By the time I got back my hands a feet were a little cold and I was a little uncomfortable but it is good to push the comfort zones especially as we get older. Bike riding is one of my passions and takes me to places I enjoy both physically and mentally; one of life's simpler pleasures.
