Here are some random iPhone pictures I took during the last week or two that I haven't posted on this blog, but I have posted them to my FB page usually as I ride.
These aren't high quality images that I would watermark, but they document some different things on my rides.

Getting ready for my ride, A Ride of Two Cities, on 11-04-17. There was about 2 inches of snow at my place, so I was surprised there wasn't any snow in Minneapolis. There were five of us riding this day. |
|
The other four riders did the short route and I continued on to ride the rest of the basic route (37 mile) and the additional loop making it a 50 miles day. |

I put together a new 41 miles route , Cold Weather Ride North, for Wednesday, 11-08-17. Jim and Katie showed to do the ride. Katie about 4 or five miles in got a flat tire. |
|
Some optional finger warmers to consider when riding in colder weather. |
|
Taking a break at the Elm Creek Chalet on Mike's, Trailhead Night Riders, ride on Thursday, 11-09-17. They were making snow and the park road had a good 2 to 3 inches in spots from the drifting snow. I don't know what the windchill was during our ride, but with the NW winds it was making its presence known on the exposed skin. I got home and the actual temperature was 12 degrees. Nelson next to his fat bike. |

Steve said he was posting a picture to FB having people guess where he was at.... |

Changing tires the morning before my, A ride of Two Cities, ride on 11-11-17. |
|
Some snow before the ride on 11-11-17. There was more snow on the side roads and trails, but most of the snow would melt away during the day. |
|
Paul was the only other rider on 11-11-17. This was this first time riding on the snow. I thought I better get a picture of the snow before it melted. |
|
This was on the Stone Arch Bridge on 11-11-17. I changed up the additional loop from the Saturday before. We got in 51 miles today. |
|
Many of you have passed this near the Bohemian Flats area in Minneapolis. |
|
Riding along the Hiawatha Trail. |
|
I put in a new ride from Champlin to Carma Coffee in NE Minneapolis for Sunday, 11-12-17. The ride was called Carma Coffee Run. No one showed up to ride, but I still ride the rides I post. Here I'm stopped in north Minneapolis. It was a long train :) |
|
Heading across the 42nd Ave Bridge on 11-12-17. |

A little further across the bridge looking toward downtown Minneapolis |
