Cross Country Skiing

Well, after receiving another foot of snow this week, the conditions are great!! My four legged friend is extremely anxious to get out each day, not sure what will happen after the snow is gone. Although in reality, that will be quite awhile yet...

Sounds wonderful, Ridebikeme. But, the switch has gone on for cycling down here... I really need to be on my bike.
I am sure the conditions at Windblown were awesome today, from the pictures I've seen. If I were up north, I'd be skiing!

Crankin: the weather here isn't really good enough to ride outside unless you are on a FATBIKE. So, I go and ski and then come back and hop on the trainer. It's too soft for the Fatbike on the trails, and with all of the snow, roads are too narrow. Bug weather will get cooler tonight, sp we'll see what happens. I will admit that I'm definitely envious with you being able to ride outside>

Well, I could still be skiing, if I wanted to drive for an hour, but, like i said, the switch went on in my head! I didn't do much cold weather riding last fall/early winter, or even last winter, so I've been forcing myself out the door if it's above 38 degrees. And, when I actually get out there, it's enjoyable. I think part of the reason I like skiing so much, is that the season is so short, I get "crazy" with it.
Some of the roads here are still melting, but except for my first ride, last Saturday, the rest has been fine. Of course, we are going to get some more snow on Wednesday, but it looks like, not more than a couple of inches, so the roads won't get too messed up again.

Oh! I'm definitely envious when I hear about your road conditions! Although we have had snow melt, the snowbanks are still high and roads narrow here... but I keep reminding myself that will change. Of course, waking up to -11 this morning, well now I'm VERY anxious

Bump!
Snow is on its way. I might have a week that involved riding and skiing. Six to ten inches predicted, especially in the area where my favorite semi-local touring center is.
On another note, we just booked a one week vacation in the Methow Valley at the end of Feb.

I most certainly did have a week with riding and skiing.
