Today saw - at last - the start of something that looked like Winter. It was around 0 degrees C and it had been snowing lightly all day. I rode out into the forest but I knew it was not nearly cold enough to dry out the trails. I kept to the bigger lanes and even there the sounds coming from the contact of my wheels with the forest floor were mushy instead of wheezy. The light snow kept me company throughout the ride and with an air temperature of -1 degree C it was not too cold. Hopefully the temperatures will drop during the next couple of days so that the trails will freez-dry. For now I contented myself with a relaxed ride in the darkening forest. When I got home I cleaned my bike but noticed it was frozen over. Still I managed to get the chain clean. The cranks are developing a little play, it is time to look for new bearings.
