I hope you have been able to take advantage of this dry weather. I rode today (Sunday, 12/08). It was cold, but my ride was flat – about as flat as you can get around here. A couple of pictures below show that not all ice fields are found in the mountains. You can see my shadow and the picture is pointing toward the north on East Lake Sammamish Parkway. Needless to say, I did not ride through the ice. I’m not as enthusiastic as some riders who have studded bike tires, nor am I a mountain biker who might be able to handle something as technical as this. I rode out and around. It reminds me of why I don’t ride hills when the weather is below freezing. Come back to visit this page in July/August to remember what real ice looks like. Be safe out there!
