- Day 8: The Great Nebraska 30-Day Winter Cycling Challenge
In this frosty episode of Pedaling Past 60, I commute on the Omaha streets on a slick and frosty 16° morning. Day 8 of the challenge featured foggy glasses, again with the wobbly camera mount, and plenty of determination to keep recording. With over 75 miles logged this week-quite the feat for this winter rider-I leaned heavy on the pedal assist as my legs felt the toll of a week spent hanging heavy theatrical lighting.
The evening ride home turned magical as snow began to fall, transforming the dark Nebraska night into a winter snow globe. As I rounded the last corner, serenading the snow with a few lines from an old holiday standard, the promise of hot chocolate and warmth kept my spirits high.
Join me for this snowy adventure and discover why cycling in the winter is a challenge worth taking. Day 8: The Great Nebraska 30-Day Winter Cycling Challenge
I've not winter cycled in about a decade. I'll be 60 this year.
When I did winter cycle my glasses would often fog up when wearing a mask. Also, I knew it was time to take the car when temps got into the single digits. My eyelids would occasionally momentarily freeze shut. Yikes😅
I'm fighting the foggy glasses too. At 62 and 61 and 60 for that matter, the worst part is my fingers. The bar mitts have been great but I prefer riding without them whenever I can get away with it. 26 deg seems to be the threshold in which I can do without for my 30 minute commute. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
@pedalingpast60 Pogies will keep hands comfy. I'm in WI. Studded tires are also a must.
@@ziptiefighter next winter I just gotta have a winter bike with studded tires. If we get nailed with a big snow the 30 day challenge will be over. I've been watch used ebikes online. Who knows? Maybe I can get it done this year.
What would be the best type of GoPro mount? The ones I have slip from the vibration of the ride.
I only can tell you what not buy! When I find one I'll let you know!
