Although I knew that it would be very icey today, I thought Shanna ( my chocolate lab) and I would head out anyway. The weather forecast doesn't look very good tomorrow, so with snow levels so low... umm let's go anyway. It was indeed very icey, but here's to hoping that the weather is all snow tomorrow and none of the other liquid variety.

Here's to hoping that we do receive ALL snow and NO snow/rain mix. I was on a snowmobile trail today,and although it had just been groomed there were LOTS of rocks/boulders visible. Hopefully they'll be a thing of the past tomorrow....

I guess I'll be riding outside this weekend, after the rain tomorrow .
I can't travel this weekend, but maybe next weekend is looking good if there's snow up north.

We've received about 6" so far, with projections to receive another 1-2 more before changing over to a rain/snow mix. Hopefully this forecast will be wrong, although the warm temps may squash my "wishes." For those of you in NE, it has already statred to change over in Gorham NH... perhaps they'll keep it?

I am doing a night ride tonight. Cannot believe this weather. A part of me really wishes for snow, but another part is not minding the mild weather either.

Ahhh I love night rides! Unfortunately I seemed to have lost my group of people that used to ride as well.

Just came back from a short ski; it was great ! For some reason, I love to break trail, although I know that isn't the norm.

Have a great weekend and enjoy your riding!!

We have sno-ow

Stable, cold snow that has impacted and is nicely groomed. Even the ungroomed trails are now broken by the hordes of eager skiers out there. I'm getting into a nice rhythm of one afternoon/night ski a week, on my way back from work. I used to do this only in my backyard woods, but oh, those final hills kill me, so I've branched out. I now have to take a bus back home, but it goes every 15 minutes and takes 10-15 minutes home, so it's no hardship. And the terrain is so much easier! My favourite trail so far starts out with at least 4 km of gently rolling and flat terrain, which lets me get warmed up and stretched out, then some fun, easy downhills, then a lot of boring twisty uphills, but I least I get nice and warm. Then some very fun and bumpity up and downs, a tremendous roaring downhill, and then a long stretch of gently rolling terrain again, at which point I'm really chugging along.

Fun
