Snow Day=Snow Ride

 Woke up this morning to discover winter is upon us, and surprisingly I wanted to ride...? So after some much needed gaming time and a bowl of ramen with two fried eggs, I put on everything wool I own and went out onto the tundra.....made my way from Sherman hill to Water Works/Ashworth Park, Then downtown for lunch, and straight up the hill back to my place:
