By the good graces of the groomers Providence is perfect
Having neglected the great outdoors right outside my door for the past month I could no longer continue in my wayward course and ignore the Beargrease.

I have to leave the house every now and then or my brain will explode. The past couple of days of storms blanketed Providence Canyon in white. A few riders had made it up the first section.

Soft and Short
Joel and I headed to Nordic Valley this morning hoping to put in some miles on the snow. The snow had other ideas and after just a bit more than a mile and plenty of sinking in the snow we turned back. Still it was fun to get out. The ride – Nordic Valley The bike – Salsa Beargrease
