Get Outside!

The seemingly endless winter weather has subsided for a few days and we finally got a chance to get outside for a bike ride. The trails are either covered with snow or far too muddy to ride and there are cinders on most of the roads from all the snow which makes riding a road bike with skinny tires not that much fun, so I broke out the antique Azonic hardtail that can do it all. The old workhorse recently got new wheels and handlebar so it rides like a new bike. Headed out on the local roads and up into the local hills to see where the snow level was. It was nice today, but a few days ago, this road was covered in snow.

We didn’t have to go too far to hit the snow, which is about 1200′. That’s not too high so it’s going to be awhile before we can do any kind of riding on the local Forest Service and logging roads, forget the trails until spring unless something drastic happens.

Snow level 1200'

We are hoping for another decent day or two before the next El Nino surprise package…
