Oh Minnesota

70 degrees yesterday...ice today. Three of us headed for Wayzata. The sleet was like needles to the face. Snow came a little later and a small dusting started to accumulate. We were on road bikes and the temps and wet conspired to foil our plans, gunking up our drive trains, brakes and even headsets with ice.
Favorite ride quote of the day: Holy Jeez! My brake levers have ice on them! - Aaron

Amy and I rode together for a little bit and them came back and reunited with Aaron, who was very under-dressed. She said, well, Tom, here we go again. Yep, a couple of veteran winter riders. Obviously there aren't too many friendships out there like Amy's and mine, but also, when things turn a bit adverse I can trust her to be at her best and be watching out for me too. We did turn back for home a little sooner than we hoped, but the conditions did do a number on or bikes, and things started to get a bit sketchy.
