New Year’s Day

(Last Updated On: January 7, 2013)

On New Year’s Day, I was joined by Rachel Ertz, Mike Records, and Nick Matisse for another South Side lap. Despite the cold temperatures, it was developing a tiny bit of crust, otherwise I would keep going there. Nick took some great photos- all the ones without a watermark. More of his photos can be seen HERE.

I really want to photoshop a gate in to this photo. Nice angulation, Mike.

Hmmn, I think Mike had me beat in the angulation department.
Rachel sends the spray.

Once again, at the bottom we were confronted with some fun billygoating amidst the ice. Nick:

Mike goes deep.
Rachel.
Frank.

Just another beautiful day in paradise.
