We left the house woefully underdressed, understimating the effect of the humidity on the wind-chill. We circled back, put on some extra layers and were then cozy as clams.
It was a blustery day and we were a little bored with our usual route so we got adventurous and took our road bikes on a trail for jeeps and mountain bikes! I figured we might get a flat or two, but what the heck!!
Kiersten quickly realized that unlike her mountain and cross bikes, her road bike with 23mm tires does not go well through 4" of sand and promptly crashed. She and Kees were laughing so hard after that that it tooks us five minutes to negotiate that section because they were being so silly and kept crashing, LOL!
Other than the sand, and having to dig twigs out of our spokes periodically, it was actually pretty managable on the road bikes. They need a good cleaning though!
All in all we had a fun ride which is what it needs to be every once in a while.
