"Go into your closet, take your skirt off, put your workboots on and Man Up About It!" I have a friend who always drops that line. Those were the words going through my head as I decided enough is enough and rolled out the driveway in pursuit of Cochrane hill. I had climbing intervals to do and I had spent 3 hours the day before in "the cave" so I had to get out. It turned out to be a great ride, not cold at all. The weather station was reporting -4 with a windchill of -10, but the coldest my Hac4 read was -3. The wind was moderate and with the right gear it was no problem. It ended up being 3 hours, a solid day. The pictures are mainly for my Belgian friends who havn't had the pleasure of experiencing this part of the world. They are racing in shorts and getting tans right now...
The 1a. I normally avoid this highway in favor of some quiet roads just to the north to get to Cochrane, but it was cold and I had to get home so I took the main route. The fog you see is very unusual for Calgary. 
The view from halfway up the Glen Eagles climb, my two wheeled kingdom.
-3 was the coldest it got, not bad at all.
