Decided that I needed to get off my backside this morning and do something. So, Fat Ass Wally got dusted off and we went for an hours ride in the 27F weather.:)

Things I noted in that hour.
It takes a heck of a long time to bring 26" x 4" tires to 12 psi with a hand pump.
I was over dressed and drenched in sweat by the time I got back home.:doh:
FAW prefers hard packed snow to pavement. Soft snow, though, is way too much work.:)
The pic with FAW laying down is on a small spit going out into a causeway along the Fox River. I walked the spit to a fallen log that was just jumping distance from the bridge where I took the pic of the frozen falls.:wtf: Yet, the ice was too slick for me to walk to the bridge.
At 60 years of age, I apparently still do not know any better.:p
