After a week of cold rain and a significant snowstorm, we were able to get back out for a bike ride. The trails are still covered with snow and are very muddy, so it’s time to break out the road bike. At the lower elevations and where the road is exposed to the sun most … Read more
We had a pretty good snowstorm yesterday, at least two or three inches of heavy, wet snow. Today the sun is out and the snow is starting to melt. Weather forecast is calling for 50 and sunny by the weekend.
