Went for a ride this morning at Blanket Creek. It was cold – real cold. Fourteen degrees with a windchill of one degree cold. Except for my feet I was able to stay warm. Late in the ride my water tube froze because I didn’t stuff it all the way inside my jacket.
The trail was a blast to ride – the snow made everything look so clean. Yesterday only four riders were out – I could count the tracks. This morning I was the only person on the Dwelling.
It was a bit tricky in places were there were roots and rocks. I realized very quickly that I had to roll over obstacles straight on or my tires would slide. I didn’t crash and only had a few foot dabs.
I know beyond a doubt that I need to live in a place that embraces snow sports and an active outdoor lifestyle.
If you hold the pointer over my pictures it will show you a title. Some of the captions loaded – some didn’t. I am hungry and will mess with it late.
