My last ride was 16 days ago - seems like an eternity. And Mark's Arizona riding is agitating me to ride. It was a fairly nice day, so I went.
Hopped on the mountain bike, pedaled the mile on the streets to the gravel water tank road - went up and out to the end and back. The city plowed it not long ago so the riding was pretty good. Mostly snow-packed, with several spots of loose snow kept it interesting. I enjoyed the ride - it felt good to be on the bike.
It was 35 degrees when I left, 30 when I returned. The water in my CamelBak hose froze. Didn't need much water for a short (but sweet) 8 mile ride.
Looking over at Cascade Mountain.
Looking up at Timp.
A section of looser snow.
A winter wonderland.
A nice day, in a wintry way.
Around that corner I hit a patch of loose stuff coming the other way and slid out.
The luge run down.
Mark, see what you could be riding back home? Arizona's overrated.
Check. Check. Testing, 1, 2, 3.

I think I'll stay another week...
Wow I went up the day before and there was not any dirt showing. Looks like a lot of snow melted.
