  1. Bicycled to the Rushford Public Library.

    Managed to miss the freezing rain.

    My brother in the NorthEast part of the country got almost 2 meters of snow from the blizzard. His phone wasn't working right Sunday so I called again today. He's okay and exhausted from shoveling snow the past 2 days.

  2. Above freezing again today so bicycled 15K around town and both trails. Would have bicycled longer but the wind was so harsh I had to gear down like I was climbing a hill. Wore me out.

  7. Felt so good to bicycle 18K yesterday in -7.77C that felt like -11C after a few days of too much cold and days of travel with the spouse.

    Someone snowplowed the Root River Trail from the edge of Rushford to the edge of Peterson so I was able to get more distance. Got on the road for a stretch where snow was too deep.

  12. Bicycled to the grocery store and back in -12 C and the temperature was getting lower during a sunny day. No adventures today, definitely not tomorrow when -33C is the *high* for the day. Not going to risk frostbite.

    General strike day in Minnesota Friday, 2026-01-23, so wasn't going anywhere anyway in solidarity, so tomorrow is the time time to read the books I checked out from the public library.

  13. Snow too thick for me to use the Root River Trail beyond Rushford, so just went to the public library, bicycled the the Creekside Trail in town, lunch at the Creamery, and grocery shopping.
    Warmed up from -16 C to -10 C so still cold for me. Couldn't do it without heated socks and ski goggles.

  15. Bicycled a small part of the Root River trail the past couple of days. Only picture I took I thought turned out okay.

    Thought bicycling where the footprints were would make it easier, but it made it more bumpy. I tried bicycling in the same path I biked before and it did not go well either. Have to forge a new path in the snow for comfort. Even ice was fine, bumpy ice was too jarring to my body.

  16. Bicycled 13 Kilometers on a snow covered Root River Trail. One of the hardest bicycling trips I've done because even with studded bicycle tires, the way the ice melted and refroze was very bumpy and the snow was up to the wheel rims in spots. Reminded me of the time I tried mountain biking on a single track dealing with roots and rocks and decided 'nope, not for me'.

  17. Ski goggles, wool base clothing, electric warming socks, Pogies on the handlebars, and studded tires on my backup bike, Donna, my Giant Sedona, enabled me to go 4.35K today. The 20cm of snow on the Root River Trail that haven't been plowed stopped me from going any farther. The city's Creekside trail had been cleared, though.

  23. Last "warm" day for a while, so bicycled to City Hall drop box to pay my utilities, then bicycled to the Root River Trail.

    On the treated and snow plowed streets it was fine.

    On the trail, which isn't maintained in the Winter, snow was too deep, going past the inside of my rims.

    Geared down as low as I could and that was okay, but what a workout.

    No such thing as too many lights

    On the frame is a Govee LED strip, powered by a rechargeable battery bank I got off Amazon.... Attached with zip ties and clear silicon caulking

    Pictured is my "Blue Glow" setting, but I have an Xmas Lights setting that twinkles and flashes and does all kinds of stuff
