Here’s a photo from down in the Seasonal Loops at River Bends during today’s ride. The creek is wider than ever and wasn’t worth riding at these temperatures, so I carefully walked across the bridge that someone had fashioned from a few old logs using the bike to help balance myself. With the logs being a bit wobbly it was rather interesting; I probably should have just ridden through the water.<\/p>\n

This ride at River Bends happened when I was on the way home (by car) from a ride up at Addison Oaks<\/a> and Bald Mountain – North Unit<\/a> with a friend. He and I met up at Oakview Middle School<\/a> to be between the two parks, rode over to Addison (where he hadn’t been in 10+ years), did a lap there, then went over to Bald Mountain and rode a lap of the east part of the North Unit (red trail). The weather out there was absolutely fantastic, with sunny, blue skies, not much wind, and a nice line down most of the trails. While a little more snow may have been fun, it’s hard to ask for better winter riding weather.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested, here’s the lot of the photos that I took today:<\/p>\n

· Roger’s Vassago Jabberwocky at Addison Oaks after the last of the initial climbing.<\/a>
\n· Looking at the flaky, asbestos-like snow on the trail at Addison Oaks.<\/a>
\n· Roger walking up Fall Line Hill (Telemark Hill) at Addison Oaks.<\/a>
\n· Roger standing in front of Prince Lake as we rode the top of the levee.<\/a>
\n· Me (Steve) standing on the levee in front of Prince Lake at Bald Mountain State Recreation Area while out riding with Roger.<\/a>
\n· Heavily rutted single track at River Bends, likely caused by people riding muddy trail just before it froze.<\/a>
\n· Mukluk leaned on an impromptu bridge in the floodplane \/ seasonal loops at River Bends.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
