your defroster seems to be broken.
No doubt. My weather app said 31 degrees, but must have been a weather station in the pass. With the strong inversions, the result is ice-fog and the temperature was 6, not 31.

No pics. Rode out to the Frigid Bits ride. Did a lap. Came back. Hung out at the burn barrel with the founder of Fatback Cycles. Aquavit was consumed. Various alcoholic beverages were consumed. Wood was burned. Temps were below zero. Stories were shared. Warmth was preserved. Technology and lithium batteries...fuck yeah!

We've gotten hammered with snow, same relative spot, now with a few more feet of snow. Was out packing it down with friends today, snow shoeing and skiing. Was able to ride it a few min ago, damn I love the D5 tires. Nothing like soft snow to make +1°F feel like 80. You work hard riding through it and you don't go fast, until a few tracks get laid down.

If JM doesn't get access to the white courtesy phone I am calling shenanigans. They promised to make me a moderator and give me access to the Courtesy phone. Both of which never happened.
