I did not make it to the Cyclocross race today. I did not bring my 4X4 and this is as close as I got. This house is on the corner of Whipperwill Valley and Bowne in Middletown. The right hand turn that I needed to make was down a steep hill. I made an attempt but I noticed the skid marks from previous vehicles so I turned around. I think I could have got down but I am not sure I could have got back up. It did not look like it was all that well attended. The snow probably scared alot of folks away. Which is not what would be expected with cyclocrossers.
A little bit of snow usually creates havoc here in New Jersey. Unlike in Syracuse. When I moved to New Jersey after college it felt like I had moved to the tropics. I got so used to the mild winters that I had to move even further south to North Carolina. Of course I started to miss being cold (I think it is in my blood) and I moved back here to New Jersey. The trend indicates I will be back in Syracuse soon.

geez, damn soft cyclocrossers!
Hard for me to judge since I was not willing to drive down the hill.
If I had more notice I might have raced myself. I would have used my old Trek Mountain Bike.
It was cold.
I'd find it hard to get on the bike in that kind of cold I think...
Yeah it was cold on Sunday. Just the start of the winter season. Once I start skiing I will hoping that it stays cold. It is hard to transition though. I had a good cycling season. The Langster turned out to be a great investment.
