Awesome ride home yesterday!

Laid another set of first tracks on all the snow covered black label up in Ankeny on the way home yesterday. The piece before Tori Lane is roughly 3/4 of a mile and it was a zone 5 killer deep snow:) North Syc was fuckin perfect..with a couple open dirt spots. Tonight its Center or black label.

Tuesday snow ride home

3 ta 4 inches and 8 through some of the drifts. That fucking NW wind was working my ass over pushing the 32x17. Great resistance ride for sure. Ran into Tobin, Vandelune, and Sparegrove (I'm sure I just butchered his name).

Sundays Church of Dirt

January 15th sunny and 50 degrees! Banner laps, pancakes, sausages, Bacon, fire and beer:)

Riding everyday now!

Peace

Bar Mitts....A must own for winter Iowa riding

That little wing velcro's over your grip, well if your an Ergon grip geek as I am it just don't work. Velcro isn't long enough for Ergon's girth:)

Look at that girth! I actually tried wrapping around the bar end too, velcro does go around the bar end. But alas it won't stay on, just slides off....fail #1.

Solution #1. Rubber band! Cheap, easily acquirable:)

This works, now just to see how long the rubber band will hold up in Iowa's cold winter and against lots of use. I could have bought some velcro and used that, but again I'm a cheap type of guy:)

Money! On Iowa's wintery cold rides I will swear by these. 35 degree's and below. A pair of lite gloves ( I wear my long fingered summer gloves) will keep your hands sweaty in these babies! If it goes below 10 degrees I'll use a medium weight glove. Weather your riding gravel, (by the way this particular pair of Barr Mitts will work on your drop bars as well) or crushing frozen single track a pair of these will be your best winter riding purchase for the money. Stop down at Rasmussen Bike Shop for your very own pair today!
