MN Winters: How I Keep My Sanity
How to stay sane in the winter months in MN: Have amazing friends and a few fun hobbies. For example... I show up for a dart league (I would say play, but I basically earn a participation ribbon at best). I sub on a broomball league.. I take on DIY home projects, wind up way over my head in said project, and there goes a few weeks! Sometimes I don't take the safest approach... but what could go wrong?!
MN Sports (Vikings and Wild) can be a lot of fun. Winter goes a little faster being a Wild Hockey fan!!!! Me and the bestie are HUGE hockey fans and try to hit a few games a year (live) and either watch the other games or have it streaming through the speakers.
If we ever get enough (good) snow, we will probably bust out the cross country skis as there is a park 1/2 mile from my house that has miles of lit trails. I'm not saying I will ski for miles right away since I haven't been on the skis in 2 years... but maybe something to work up to ;) MN really does have a lot to offer, even in the cold winter months - there is always some fun to be found!
And on chill nights when it hurts my face to walk outside (because its damn cold), I spend endless hours daydreaming on where my bike will take me next. I ordered a bunch of Butler maps when they went on sale and have begun filling my mind with 1,000 new riding destinations for 2018. There are so many amazing places in the USA - and so many fun roads.... I will spend the next 2 months reigning in my over-ambitious riding goals....
The 2 wheel shadow pics are the best... but this 4 wheel cager needs a little love too |
