Biking XTraining -- Sun. January 6

Another mild day, and too full of food to run so a dab at the trails on my bike. However, the snow was so soft and thick, even where the snowmobiles had compressed it, I couldn't make any headway, so pushed the bike to an exit and took off on a road jaunt. GeoHannum to Stebbins, left along Batchelor, follow round and go as far as Harris Mountain--dither a bit, then decide to go up and over, and left on Bay round to Hulst, then cross to Orchard and up to Federal: do a tiny bit of trail around the lakes via Grela, then dive into Metacomet and back to Bay, up to Hamilton and home that way.

1:05:05 @ 13.5 mph for 14.66 miles biked.

Comments: good exercise -- I'm aiming for 15-18 mph as a biking speed over a couple of hours, but I'm not there yet. Must try with the road bike when it gets a bit drier . . .
