Indian Lake to Speculator and Wells: Update 1/20/15
T’was a beautiful start to the day. Temperature was 6 degrees under a sunny sky. Snow pack ranged from about 6 inches in the exposed areas to a foot-plus “in the woods.” I love the Adirondacks all year, but winter is magic for me! From the moment I started today’s ride, I was feeling the […]
Speculator to Indian Lake: Update 1/13/15

The whole thing settled into about an inch or two of slushy mess. Then everything froze solid last night as temperatures plunged into the teens. For good measure, […]
