0 down..125 miles to go
This is Mike McKee. Today he'll be my riding partner. Mike is an accomplished track cyclist, as well as a road racer. He frequently rides long distance solo (it is extremely difficult to find a riding partner for long distance).
A cold start to the ride
The Bank of Marion clock/thermometer says that it's only 6 degrees out here to start. I'm wondering if the minus sign is burned out. It sure feels colder than that.
All smiles..for now
First stop of the day, and I'm smiling. We'll see how long this lasts. Look at the unzipped portion of my jacket and you'll see my secret weapon. A Tyvek mailing envelope.
Still feeling good..and cold
It's full daylight, and we're in Carbondale. The man who was good enough to take this picture was adding antifreeze to his car. We wondered if ethylene glycol would be good in water bottles.
The Ice Man cometh
Good thing I wear a beard. That would be my face all frozen instead! Pretty cool glasses, huh? They're Tifosi phototec glasses. They change with the changing light. I bought them from Rob. Thanks, Rob.
All done
Finally back at the Marion Police Station. We are two tired, cold but very satisfied cyclists.
What a heat wave
It may not seem very warm to you, but it was a definite improvement over the start. Now that we've got the first one in for the new year, the rest of the year will rock!
