A more reasonable weather day for biking! After several fresh inches of snow and waiting until the afternoon I thought the mountain bike trails would be great for riding. Well.. I was only the second bike on them. Someone had snowshoed to help pack it down, but it was still really loose. I spent a lot of time slipping, sliding, and pushing my bike up the hills. Ugh. Good conditioning right? There were definitely times were I was able to get into a rhythm of riding for a brief period! I can’t wait to go back when it is better packed and not freezing! I couldn’t tell if I was spinning on the loose snow or the ice underneath it all – or some combination of both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
