I switch from cycling to running in the winter because it's just too cold to bike. Running is slower and my body generates more heat. So running for me is easier in the colder temperatures. Today was a good example of that. With windchill near 40, I would have froze on one of my Porsche Bikes. But running with winter running gear on, and my Porsche Design Endurance Boost running shoes, wasn't too bad. It's not cold enough for a beanie and gloves yet, so it was a nice run despite the wind. Today's four miles around my neighborhood marks the beginning of when the park is "all mine" as the colder weather scares away most everyone else. It's quiet and peaceful. I had a good run at a decent pace today.
Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. Now I'm focused on the Maryland and California Coast & Coast adventure!
