Inside the Masters back pack

Im Just saying!

7 days and 7 nights

Well, the snow is still here. It has been one week of snow on the ground. I have really enjoyed the beauty of it. It looks like we may be in for a couple more days of it at my house. I think we are on the shaded side of the mountain.


Beautiful day. Church, lunch with good friends, then a nice sunny snow ride. Skyball was still snow capped off in the distance. Although Skyballs Siren Bitches were calling us, we took a right instead and resisted. The temp was nice and warm but then dropped about a degree per minute in the last 20 minutes of the ride.

Is anyone aware of this?

More inclement weather?

My new plan to push on through the worst weather this year is tough. Reluctantly, after work today, I headed to the local trails for a spin. You'll never guess what I found.

When the park is the most beautiful all year. You guessed it........CLOSED!

I pushed my 29r up the hill next to the park. I then slipped into the down hill of one of the switch backs that turns near the pavement. Most of the trail was virgin snow. I was really surprised that no one had decided to take a hike through the snow covered trails. I saw lots of dear tracks and then finally ran into a single set of human tracks. At least someone else in the city appreciated the snow covered mini forest this day. The stream that snakes under the three bridges was beautiful.

I was pleased to find that most of the trail was easily ridden. However, the ice shell on the snow demanded a lot more effort on the first trip through. All in all it was a peaceful ride and a good work out.
