This morning cycling was a bit of a cold test. The actual min temp was only 17F. Dew point was12F and the humidity was 56%. 
With two layers of socks I just barely made it. The rest of the body was just fine but I struggle to keep my toes warm. 
The new adjustable vent sure help a lot. It will keep the heat inside when needed and opens up nicely to get rid of any condensation on the windshield. 
The ride was s bit slower with the extra stops I made but the over all time was not yo bad. 
The photo shows were my breath exits the velo. Now I know where all the drag comes from.

Year End


The end of a very successful year, one that would be very hard to beat. It is by far the most miles I have done in one year and also the most alive I felt in one year. Yes it was very time consuming to spend all that time cycling but the accomplishment was well worth it. The funny thing is the more you ride this vehicle, the better and faster it gets. I doubt I will be able to match those miles in 2012 which would be unfortunate, but the focus would be to get more Pterovelo's on the road.

Seven stores to stop at and seven cards to collect. What fun, but hard on the knees. Ended with a 9,10,J,K. So close!

20 mile - Round the lake with Greg

The weather is so nice now. It is a shame I don't cycle more. Will have to start commuting again.

17 mile - Foggy Morning

It was a beautiful foggy morning. Not many cyclist showed up today, I guess it was the perfect sleep in morning. The fogging almost became a problem then I remembered that I have some emergency cleaning wipes in my tool kit. That saved the ride. I is a must to have a clean windshield for days like this otherwise the fogging inside the windshield becomes a problem. So I skipped the Sunday ride and went to Elemental for coffee. Awesome!

50 mile

Fun ride to Norman this morning. Met with Joe and Gabby and gave the kids a ride in the Pterovelo. Joey loved it so much I think I have my first customer, soon as his feet touch the pedals.

20 mile

Cold front came through today and left us with a 30mph N wind. It was so strong and the lake was so dry that Greg complained that the air feels like sandpaper. So we headed South on Portland.

6 mile

27 mile

Tiffany met me at the coffee shop and so the Sunday morning coffee ride turned into a breakfast rider. Had some couple of pancakes and caught up with the pack again at the end of the River Trail.
