Early Sat. AM I got new studded snow tires on the Altima and then put the snows from the cellar on the Eurovan. Then it was off for a Mountain Bike ride. No one was around so I did a late afternnon 90 min solo ride @ Case. It was cold just below 30 I think 28-29 degree's the ground is getting all thet wierd frost stuff where the Ice crystals stick up and your tires sorta sink as you hit this stuff and its Ice + slippery as snot. Anyway I had a great ride a few snow flurries were falling very nice COLD fresh air.
Sunday after a few chores it was out for another ride. This time it was Grayville @ 1:30 with Darrell I know from EMS and Darrells freind Neil. We did the left side of Grayville, the trails are very nice + dry. But the leaves leave a bit to be desired on the climbs and fast corners as they are like ice. At the 1/2 way point we ran into two more of Darrells friends Kristina + Sue. I find out Kristina knows Gary and his gang from the D/H racing days + MOAB trips Cool - Small world. Any how we then went up the back side climbing to the top. This is the trail Kenny + I have gotten crazy on a few times decending so we call it the race track. Darrell calls it the slalom trail as it weaves back and forth so much. I was good and warm at the top and was happy I could keep up with this young crowd. Who said I'm 54 ( I'm not admitting to this ) .. We then did the playground and looped across the top and took the Jeep trail out to below the Mini golf course - much nicer way out . I need to talk with Scott + the gang for our next ride to do this on the way out.
I need to keep riding a lot till the ICE Climbing season consumes me as I need to stay strong and in good condition for the steep verticle ice I plan to climb starting in a few weeks.
