Indian Lake to Speculator and Wells: Ride 1/24/20
1/26/20 – 8AM UPDATE: Well… Ended up with 4 inches of wet cement mix at the ilsnow storm center in Indian Lake! Always nice to get the unexpected bounce every now and again. ? 1/24/20 Report When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t sure whether I’d bother riding. But by 11:30am, I was about to […]
