Overdressed for this ride. Was a balmy 10*c. Best view from the base of this mountain for the next 4 months.

On a clear day you can see Mount Baker USA from here.
 
Last one before xmas (prob) - blowing 50mph on top which made for some interesting moments!
Will be out tomorrow while the wife's away skiing in the Dolomites. My left ACL has finally said "enough" so had to 'bully' Mrs irie into going with friends without me for the first time. Now I have only two old pussies in the house to look after instead of three 😉 Times change, simple as.
 
Went out today not raining but single track full of puddles. Filthy after a few miles and lower legs soaking and cold .Only did 9 miles and thought this is no fun so called it a day. I intended to use land rover tracks in these conditions but levo goes where it wants I reckon. Shortest day today so things can only get better. Tried out boot drier 20 minutes long enough. Like boiling a kettle though it eats the juice.

Was out today. 20 horrible miles. Thick mud. At one point was quite funny in the mud, was slowing me down a lot so changed down, increased assistance, and went even slower with the rear wheel spinning in the deep mud. Started laughing so finally gave up and walked a long stretch 😂

The Vaude gaiters that Rob recommended worked great. Dry warm feet all day.

Northern Ontario canada on dec 24 and 25.
Definitely a lack of snow ❄️.

Is that mirrors? Looks windy
Hand grip protection. Look at the end of his grips …ouch!

But if rode in northern Ontario I would probably have rear view mirrors. Being chased by a moose 🫎 would be frightening. Kinda like being chased by a freight train. 😯

Yup, hand guards. I've had bad luck with trees and bushes trying to rip my fingers off as of late. They look terrible but they work as advertised.

Hahahahha, you should have seen the moose poo on one of our best trails this spring! There was a pile every 10 feet! The moose use the trail to get around during the winter/spring when the humans aren't there.

For all the poop I didn't see one moose in the last 3 years. Black bears are way more plentiful but they just run away when they hear you coming.
