Riding instead of Hiking, either way it was cold

We gave a shout out to people that may have enjoyed a hike this morning with us, but when we showed up to Castlewood State Park, it was just the Beautiful Mrs K and I.  As luck would have it, we (surprise!) just happened to have our bikes and riding gear with us.  We didn't expect anyone to show up at 8am on a Sunday morning at 25 degrees.  Maybe on a warmer morning, at a later time we can get some people to enjoy the outdoors with us.
Not that riding was that enjoyable today.  It was cold and the wind was pretty strong.  My fingers were numb in a few minutes and I stopped once to warm them up.  Deanna didn't have her contacts in and her everyday glasses are not for riding mountain bikes so she was like Mr Magoo out there and had to stick to the easier stuff.  I climbed the big three hills (Ranger Station, Cardiac, and Lone Wolf) so it was a semi-successful ride anyway.  Just not long enough.
