#BikeStreak Day 77:
Today's ride did not go according to plan. I was riding my gravel bike with the puncture resistant tires, but picked up a nasty glass shard and did too many revolutions before realizing what was happening. By then it had dug in deep enough to puncture the inner tube. I turned around and rode as far as I could before the tire went too flat. At that point I was 3 miles from home. Do I fix it in the cold wind, or walk home and fix it there? I chose the latter.

Dark brown Diverge bicycle with Bar Mitts leaning on a leaning tree trunk off the Bear Creek Trail. The asphalt trail is on the right and the creek is left and behind. The trees surrounding are bare and there is scattered snow in the shaded areas; the trail is dry.

#BikeStreak Day 76:
It's the morning after the storm and I was compelled to ride my #FatBike with studded tires on my way to have coffee with the hockey guys for 12 miles. On the way there, it was very icy and rutted in spots as the wet slushy snow froze hard overnight. The return trip was mostly dry or slushy as the sun and warmth was rapidly melting the snow and ice. I am hoping today was the last of the studded tires for the season. But it was pretty riding through the woods.

Dark grey FatBoy bicycle leaning against a new tree brace support off the Bear Creek Trail with fresh snow on the ground and bare trees and shrubs behind many covered with snow. The sky is blue and sunshine is filtering onto the scene.

Behind is the creek with open water. Shadows of the trees behind the photographer can be seen in the snow with blue skies overhead.

#BikeStreak Day 75:
I awoke early and saw on the radar the snow was about to start. As I had a couple essential items needed, I decided to dress quickly and jump on my #ebike to go to the grocery store before dawn and snow, for 6 miles. With the cloud cover it was still mostly dark. The wind was strong out of the Northeast and the temperature was falling. I guess our chance of more rain than snow is diminishing. It might be an interesting day given the blizzard warning.

Sage green Vado SL ebike parked on the Bear Creek Trail in the dark. The trail is illuminated by the white bike headlight and the red taillight. The creek is behind, partially visible and there is some faint light above which backlights the bare trees.
