Social Cycling ATX presents: Monday Heavy Metal Fitness Ride - THE COLD ONE.

Damn. It's fucking cold out. While ANY riding in this weather means you're "hardcore" in the eyes of most Texans, the rest of the country knows what's really up, so if you actually want to qualify for the title you should get out tonight and do this:

It's gonna be another cold ride. Temperature looks to be mid-40's. At least it won't be wet.

Bring yourself out for a challenge. This ride is here to push your limits. Most people won't get back to the bridge first, but most people will finish.
