Winter Solstice River Bike Ride

Stacia and I went on a great river mtn. bike ride yesterday.Solstice was at 9:35am on Dec. 21 this year(but the sun rose around noon). We did the sunset ride instead around 1:45pm. We are hoping to do a 60 mile river ride to Nenana and few more people are on board(stacia's idea of course, you can ski or bike). Tark, Beth? Maybe you can skip Santa Barbara and come to Fairbanks to train(just kidding).

It is much colder than skate skiing and I was unprepared for the extra wind chill. Luckily, I was riding Stacia's uber winter mtn bike with snowcat rims made by local bike guru Simon. Also down pogies for your hands to stay warm. Her new snowcat rims are super wide with new holes drilled out for lighter weight, the custom job comes with animal print ribbon. Pretty sweet, check them out below.

Dea learning ins and outs of winter riding!
