South Sugarloaf (16:53, 14:21). Been a while since I've had to deal with ice. Thought early on that I would turn back pretty well short of the top, but then the old skills about reading the snow/ice came back. No falls. :-)

1 PM
biking - red bike 39:13 9.95 mi (3:57 / mi) +162ft 3:53 / mi
ahr:125 max:151
Upper 30s, minimal wind.
Ah, the things we do that bring smiles to our faces -- off to Stockbridge Road to see if I could catch up with a pink-footed goose that was supposedly hanging out there. No sign of it or the several hundred Canada geese it was supposedly with.
So plan B, over to the UMass campus pond where the CG's hang out when there aren't off feeding, and they all were, including the PFG. Hung around for about 30 trying to get a good photo, getting a little chilled in the process.

And then back home. Hands were real cold to start, as I'd had my gloves off most of the time at the pond, but they eventually warmed up. New gloves are really good.
So does this make any sense? Sure. I was going to go for a ride anyway, so this just added a little spice to it. And it beats, by a long shot, some other things I or others might do -- going to symphony, or driving in Boston traffic, or even (for me) orienteering these days. And I got some good (for me) photos. :-)
