What a miserable 6 hour, correction 5 hr 48 min, ride. I cut it short 12 minutes because I was completely numb. -20, no problem. Even colder no problem. Wind, snow, blizzard, great! But wet 32-33 degree with wind, slush, ice and sideways rain, yeah that sucks. I am always coldest in these conditions and oh yeah there was mud, mud and more mud. 42 miles of it. I was glad to get out but man was it misery. Good times.

Also, I've been editing Tim Hewitt's notes about his self-supported walk to Nome last year. He had several days of rain and above freezing weather through Shagaluk and the Yukon. This might just be appropriate training yet.
