The Full Monty

What a day for the Riders. They put 17 icy miles behind them! Really great work.

They've been diligent about keeping their breaks short in order to maximize their mileage gains. But they have very animated chats during those short breaks from the grind. One thing they've taken to doing during their breaks is coming up with a name for each day.

They deemed today The Full Monty, because they each stripped off quite a few layers in response to the gloriously sunny and nearly wind free conditions. At one point it was so warm that they were down to their baselayer tops and wind pants. Some of them even skied without gloves on for a while!

Tomorrow looks to be windier but nothing compared to the storm days they've encountered so far.

The Ruff Riders are heating up literally and figuratively. We can't wait to see what they do with the next 5 days of seemingly very friendly weather.
