I ALMOST feel guilty posting this today knowing how much of the country is dealing with intense cold weather conditions.
But here goes anyway ;-)
Our spring like weather pattern held for another day today and I got out on the fixed gear for the 1st time this year.

I had forgotten how much I like this bike! It is quiet, simple, and fairly nimble. Being as it is fixed, the bike just jumps forward when you put the effort on.

I rode the gentle grade up twords Snoqualmie Pass on the Iron Horse Trail turning around when I hit snow about 4 miles from the Hyak Tunnel.

The trip back home was all downhill, I kept the pace just under the point of spinning out with my gearing.

Fingers and Toes were pretty cold by the time I got home.
