Frozen Turkey Ride - Thanksgiving 2010

Dave G., Cori J., and Brandon (dressed like a robber)

I occasionally question my own sanity--especially this morning.  Leading up to the Frozen Turkey Ride, I kept texting Brandon weather reports. Nonetheless, we went forward with the ride.  It was cold this morning--possibly the coldest ride I've ever done. Brandon said it was 7 F.

I'm sure glad that I went.  Once we were climbing betty, my core was warmed up.  The sun eventually came out and made things even better.  We paused at the rock altar and expressed thanks for singletrack.

What a great way to start Thanksgiving.  On to Food, Family, and Football.

I'm looking forward to the draper velodrome

The Draper Velodrome, from what I understand, will be concrete.  The picture above is from the world championships.  There should be plenty of carnage when the newbies hit the track in Draper.

Big News

The weather is colder--I'm still riding.  Even with the snow/rain, the cat litter lined trails in the UC are rideable.

Anyways - two bits of cycling news that you probably have heard about.

1.  Draper continues to amaze me with their support of cycling.  The city recently approved the master plan for not only a velodrome, but a crit course, pump track, and more.  Check out the plan here.  I may have to move to Draper.

2. Cross is finally returning to Utah County.  Nov. 20 in American Fork.  Details here.
