Cold Weather Riding

Last weekend my friends Abby, Margi, Sage & I drove out to The Dalles to pre-ride the first two stages of the Cherry Blossom Classic -- a stage race that will take place later this spring. It was freezing! Literally. It snowed the whole time we were riding, but it was dry enough that the wind blew the flakes off the road. Our original plan was to ride 60 miles - but we cut it off at 45 and went for soup and sandwiches instead. We rode with a bunch of ladies from Sorella Forte as well. Here's the group of us after the ride -- you can see all the snow in the background.
