Stayin’ frosty
I had time and the road up to the top of the quarry was rideable. I made it to the waterfall where the views are crisp and spectacular this time of the year. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Salsa Beargrease

White is the new Green
The Forest service is adding fees to ride green. Public lands are become less public and now everyone wants a fee. The Forest service claims it is needed to maintain the area.

We spent and afternoon playing in perfectly groomed snow thanks to the volunteer groomers who leave waffles for us all to enjoy. The timing was perfect as a new storm dumped another foot of sugary, white powder on us

Derailleur battery dead. Going single speed.
The trails don’t get any better than today. The grooming gods have been hard at work so the rest of us can play hard. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Salsa Beargrease
