SO one ride a day is not enough for me! well this morning when Ben-o left my house he had said he was going to do the belmont ride. I Said what the hey and Joined the ride.

After various delays , we got started. the trails Looked Good made me wonder if I should have changeded from studded tires

Well SHortly after we topped the hill conditions changed and I was very glad I had studs on.

Coming down this hill was interesting because the approach to the bridge was a sheet of Ice. Nick Crashed ( pic did not come out :( ) and dam near put that new Iron Horse in the drink.

Ben-o had his studs on this morning atVietnam , but he changed them to regular tires in between rides , Big mistake

So, when a guy's wife is away for a weekend with the kids, the hubby usually goes to the bar. You go riding. 3 times in 2 days, you are hard core. Good for you. Looked like fun.

Great ride Splat. Thanks for messing up the picture of my near dunking! The start of many rides this year - hopefully a bit more friction the next time.

Cheers, aye!

Next time I'm leaving my studded tires off, so Splat can make me famous too. Still looking forward to the day I can hook up on a Splat-guided 'Nam tour.
