Ride to Speculator/Wells: Update 2/11/15
Ahhh…the joys of mid-week riding! I knew it was going to be a good one today. Temperature started at -12*F this morning. I waited a bit until the temperature poked above zero, so I headed out around 9:30AM. The sun was out, I was warming up a bit and loving life. It was already a good […]
Vulture Ride: Update 2/8/15
Update 2/9/15: It took the better part of three days, but Indian Lake picked up around 9 inches of snow while Speculator/Route 8 area picked up a bit over a foot. Total snow pack is a robust 18-30 inches. The snow bowls in southwestern Hamilton County may hold over 3 feet of snow! Ride Report […]

But I decided […]
