Recap: Dresden Snowy Gravel Adventure

3 cyclists. 23.5 miles. 2200+ feet of climbing. The route featured gravel, double track, snow, ice, mud, and a serious dose of windchill. Overcast and windy to start. 10 miles of tailwind. Sun came out for a bit, but remained windy and became the headwind. Temps were mid 20’s to upper teens depending on how the wind was blowing. Met an Australian cattle dog named Retta who was rabbit hunting with humans in the wildlife area. Also learned that being husky is detrimental to getting over frozen puddles on the double track section. Our bottles froze about halfway through. #HTFU
