Ice Is Nice! first ride of 2026

After reinstalling the dashboard rehab patient, I took Dorable for her first ride of the year

Started out just under freezing, wound up just over,had a superb 35 mile ride to Lake Wissota State Park, a ride around the lake and the cruised Irvine Park in downtown Chippewa Falls.

the state park staff have a pretty nifty rig to check the trails in the winter (I have seen it on wheels in the summer)

The heated gloves I got last fall came in very useful yet again, thanks Savior Heat for quality gloves at a quality price.

today also was the first outing for the new HJC I80 Velly helmet

As well as the Osmo Action 3 camera I got used from B&H photo, I picked up a chin mount made for the I80 from chinmounts.com

Hacked up the video from the cam and saw I only had it set for 1080/30fps, next run gets 2.7k/30fps
