Flyers on the Ice

A few photos of the Flyers on Ice during the Gamblers game. (photos courtesy of Fast Mark Schindel - all rights reserved). And through the magic of Paint, we see the real reason why I fell.

New Years Day 2011

The 6th Annual New Years Day ride is in the books, a true hardcore group showed up with bells on ready to start the new season and new year. 23 riders bundled up and grabbed their trusty ol' steeds......as a brutally cold wind was awaiting to remind us all that it was January 1st.....winter.

The mandatory group shot......we have no idea how strong the wind is going be slapping us in the faces for the next 2 hours! We pulled out of the parking lot and Cole J shifted into 3rd gear and hit the gas, the first solo break attempt of the day was on!

Reeled back in shortly, the lead group only had to be reminded once that it was a group casual pace ride.....well behaved today! The head winds were epic.....wow, strong enough to blow your bike almost out from underneath you, and cold enough to burn the skin on your face.....but damn was it a sweet ride :)

Warm fluids hit the spot, nuff said.

More warm stuff.

Our annual stop at Lambeau for the group statue photo, the hardcore having a blast on the frozen tundra (concrete). When we left Lambeau and rounded the side of the stadium.....the strongest and coldest wind.....OUCH.

Thanks to all who ignored the howling wind and sort of cool temps, everyone that rode agreed it was a blast and for sure a great way to spend New Years morning.....now we just need more snow for skiing and to make the creeks a little bit better for riding, have a good week and ride on!
