| It's 3pm and the sun is setting. |
I'd rather ride my bike then snowshoe. I could have taken out my snowshoes, but I decided to take out my bike again as it was such a nice day! That's what I am finding this Winter. But heh, if I REALLY love to bike, even in the Winter, over anything else, then so be it! On days like this, it's nice to be out and about on my bike. I didn't even feel cold although it's -13 c (8.5 f). The sun really warms things up.
I first biked to the mall to use a gift card that I got from work. I got a good deal on a toaster oven so I bought one, and a few dvds. I live alone so using a 6 slice toaster oven to cook my food makes much more sense then using an oven. And I can store it away when I am not using it. I strapped it on the back basket using my bunjee cords. I walked it home, although I could have biked safely. I biked a little when I was on the side streets.

| My new deluxe Toaster Oven for a steal! |
After bringing toaster oven home I decided to go for a little ride down the path that is near me that I use lots in Summer. It has been cleared, so it was easy riding on it. What a lovely afternoon to go for a quick ride, before the sun sets. There are ducks here that someone has left food for so they won't go hungry. What a lovely day! Cheered me right up, much better then staying home. I love Winters!

| Path is cleared, perfect for walking or biking. |

| Ducks are well fed. I should leave them some food. |
Showshoeing is hard work... and there's no coasting involved unlike a bike or skis
ReplyDeleteSnowshoeing, up hills and in mountains is particularily beautiful and a serious workout. Of course, one could be on the flats with a headwind for some real fitness work also.
ReplyDeleteToday I felt minor victory to have cycled to grocery store and back ...but with alot less snow here in Calgary. However it was -15C. A few days ago, it was -27C. Kudos to you to cycle in that amount of snow.
