Riding in the snow

I'm riding a little more seriously this year, with the thought of tackling a few more brevets in the Bostn Brevet Series come May, June, and July.     These work their way up to a pretty serious two day ride, so I'm trying to build a good base early.

This means lots of time on the trainer, but also getting outside whenever the weather permits.    We had a blizzard last week, but it's been the 40s almost every day since, so I managed a couple outside rides.   The melting snow makes some puddles, which combined with the sand used here in Carlisle on the roads can make a mess.  And with salt from adjoining towns you have to hose down and clean your bike after every ride.

Here's shadowfax in the snow today before heading out for a quick loop down Curve St, up to 27, and through Chelmsford and back.
