Snowy mountain bikin'

It has been a while since I was able to go for a bike ride, so I decided to go after we got back. (see earlier post) It was breezy, to say the least. I knew that once I got into the woods from town I wouldn't be in so much wind, so I went about 18 mph average to get there. My ever expanding beard was frozen stiff from all the panting. When I reached the trailhead, I made the discovery that there was still snow on the trail, DUH!. Huge DUH! I pushed through about 2-4 inches of snowmobile packed ice and slush for about a half mile, and then decided to turn around. If you've ever tried riding through sand and turning, you'd realize that it is a lot harder than it looks. This was very similar. I was wiped. I got a drink, took some pics and headed back. Altogether about 4 miles, but I still got a great workout in.

 

 

Here I'm going about 10 mph and shooting the pic.

Till next time,

Cheers
