The Frozen Tundra...

Lucky for us Mother Nature decided winter was not over yet. We got hit with snow and wind, leaving 2 inches in some places and 18 inches in others. These conditions couldn't keep a few of us out of the woods though. Matt, Todd and myself met up at Middle Run for some fun on the snow. I got there ahead of the boys to get in a workout, the trails were ridable, but it was not easy going. You had to work even on the down hills. For the most part the trails were fine, but every so often you would go from a bare spot to an 18 inch drift. Despite the slow going it was an awesome ride, and probably the last mountain bike ride for a while.

Oh Well, I guess that's why they make road bikes.

Cheers,

All Good Things Must Come To An End...

Despite not great weather last week, I was able to do all of my riding outside. Work outs, easy rides, you name it. The future fro that ain't looking too bright. With forecast calling for 8-14 inches, it may be a while before I can ride outside again.

Yesterday was another trip to Wharton. This time Elk and I were joined by Matt and Jake. The trails were a little softer, which turned into a nice long, fun, kind of grind ride.

Once again Elk laid out a nice loop, I'm not sure if I will get out there again this year, it seems the ticks come out in a few weeks, But I will be back the first chance I get.

This morning was Fair Hill, with a light dusting of snow, and rising temps. I wasn't sure what to expect. Our little group rolled out right at 9:00, this was bad because Marc rolled in at 9:01. I felt bad, but what are you going to do.

Last night I met up with Vettori's for some climbing, Rachael is still on Foal duty. After climbing we picked up pizzas and came back here for pizza and beer. Not a bad combo.

Well I need some serious couch time,

Cheers,

Buddy
