2007.01.27 Testing Polartec 200 Fleece : About 2 hrs in 20 degree temps.  When I was dressing down, chunks of  frost were falling from inside my coat.  I think my windbreaker could do a better job of "breathing"

2008.02.02 Snowmobile Trails from Solon to Ely : Started in Solon. Picked up a snowmobile trail just north of Randall Park. Followed the trail that hooked up with the former BCR&N Railroad and took that north to Ely where it ended at Seven Sisters Road.  On the way back took the snowmobile trail I had seen around the OHV park.   That ended up coming out of the woods near the Sandy Beach area of Lake MacBride.  Then rode paved roads back to Solon so I could get down to Iowa City and join up with the ICETIT ride. About an 18 mile round trip. 14 of those were on snowmobile trails or the railroad bed

A few days before the ride the snowmobile trails were pretty of recent snow and a lot of sections were exposed grass. The snow covered sections I  walked on were hard packed (unfortunately I didn't come across any of the Ice that I would encounter further on into the trails).  The night before there was about 2-3" of snow.  Temps in the mid 20's to low 30's during the ride.  Snow was soft but not too packed down. The trail sections were mostly over a base of grass but a lot of areas had a base of slick ice. Especially in protected areas in and along the woods and on hills or any area where there would have been spinning by ATVs or Snowmobiles.
