Did you get out and ride Wednesday? Update 3/13/19
Wednesday was the last day of my “weekend” and Crazy Cal blew off work. So we were looking to RIDE, RIDE, RIDE! Temperature around ride time was about 7*F.

Those customary snow bowls on the south-central Adirondacks still hold over a foot. But that’s not the whole story: […]
