Latest storm dropped 8 inches in Indian Lake and many places reported a foot or more along the Route 8 Corridor in the southern flank of ilsnow land.
Morning snow removal duties curtailed my riding, but I was sure to get out there for the afternoon.
The ride started sunny, then the snow squalls rolled in mid-afternoon.
I did the run up to Long Lake thence over to the Newcomb House and back down to Indian Lake for a tidy 120+ miles. Not really much need for a “trail report” because 99% of what I touched was awesome riding! I saw three groomers making their rounds in Indian Lake.
You can catch me swirling around Indian Lake village here:
Even C7B to Long Lake was great. The groomers have done an amazing job in filling up the left-over chuckholes with the new snow.
With the wind and blowing snow and being unsure of what awaited me on the ice, I didn’t want to run Long Lake into town, so I took that funky little bumpy trail in. Jennings Pond was quite rough with frozen slush.
Here some Gold Star stuff from today’s ride:
The only drawback were the bitter cold temperatures once the sun went down. But that does minimize traffic and keeps the trails together nicely. Riding stuff like this is what I dream of when we’re in the middle of #summersucks.
Weekend Outlook?
Duh! Just get up here and ride.
Don’t over-think it, JUST DO IT!!!
Doesn’t get any simpler than that….
For the ilsnow nation,
