Too cold to ride -- but great for a bit XC

Some debating about his RP2IPBP ride on messy salty, sandy and possibly icy roads on a sunny and clear but cold (it was still -7°C at 9:40am) and windy day. He also thought about taking his Stonie Cross bike for better handling and eventually hitting a trail in the woods. Nothing seamed right and safe, the snow cover with possible hidden ice was not what he needed now on his path of recovery.
But wait, the little extra new snow of Friday may be just good enough for one more XC ski day! Would be safe and comfortable in the woods of Wildwood. He decided to give it a try. And it was a great day out there, just enough snow at perfect powdery conditions, fast. Only a few spots with exposed rocks and a few too many branches braking the slide at times, but there were sweet spots to enjoy and play around a bit -- 2 laps with some venturing XC @ WWSP :-)

It was nice and he couldn't let go before a 2nd lap was done including some playing around at the most South-East part of the park where the snow was best! -- 9 WP Pts!
