It's a bit cooler here today- -14F this morning (that's -25C)! Way below my threshold for "too cold to ride". Icy roads, too.

I think it's the time of year, it's not good for photography in the northern hemisphere. Unless you live in the Alps!

I only post photos of what I think is interesting scenery. At the moment much of my time is on suburban training routes or on the velodrome...

Only a lucky few can live in the Alps and have such beautiful vistas every day!

It's mostly still sunny here in the Bay Area, but riding inland in the south foothills near Morgan Hill means temps can reach 0 deg C or lower. This photo below is deceiving. I was in full warmers, winter base layer, neoprene gloves, booties, climbing at near threshold, and I still wasn't warm. Still, I'm out riding and that's all that matters.

@%@#%@!#@$ just a look was enough for the bike to fall dawn, when those riders passed by :p

aaaah thats annoying. wish i was in the sun there!

How mint does the condition of that road look! If Carlsberg made roads....

Col de Saxel is one of my favorite climbs. The views are awesome and there is basically no traffic on the road (but when there is its pretty damn scary)

I like it! how about a caption contest

"now it's just you and me for the win, buster"

and I agree that winter is not so picturesque. The mountains are great but mostly too cold to ride. We're having a few good days
the Jura range


Môle, Mt Blanc, les Aravis

about 6 in, or 152mm from top of saddle to top of bars.

Natural flexibility + keeping up with stretching and recovery lets me have that position. I've gotten so used to having a low position that if I put a higher stem on I feel cramped.
