Snow ride on the Hamburg -- I found it quite challenging staying in the 8" wide trough of beaten-down snow from previous cyclists. At higher speeds, venturing outside the trough caused severe fish-tailing...almost lost it a few times! Painfully slow speed -- but useful for developing control, I suppose.

What a difference conditions make -- last October I did this exact ride in 29:37 with 15.0 AVS. Weird because the distance on my computer for that ride was 7.4 mi......if anything I would think the snow ride would register greater distance (due to slipping of front wheel) ????

Well...I call this legit to log based on the energy expended. This was two plus hours of hoofing up and down our yard hills as a designated sled transporter (uphill - sometimes with 40+ pounds of kid perched on top). Because of the frequent pauses, I'm calling this one hour continual. Probably 50 or so jogs up the hills in the snow and a few laps around portions of the yard trail with sled/kid in tow. Those guys just didn't get tired! Wish there was more snow...got a little thin in spots.

Real run this time -- laps around the yard trail, gravel road, and surrounding subdivisions. Real easy pace.
