Me discovering the ice on the creek was not quite as thick as I thought.

Thanks for the report and photos Splat - always enjoy the exploits of the crew. I got back my FS bike from Brian at JRA today (rear shock needed to be rebuilt) and rode a while in my yard and was amazed at the traction on the frozen tundra! The side of my driveway with the shoveled snow piles is like undulating slickrock (hey it has been a while). Can't wait to get out tomorrow night and Saturday morning before these conditions disappear. I also just got a halogen light and am ready to do extend the riding hours.

The last several weekends I have been out with my SS and it has been tough finding solid enough snow to ride but still it was all good.

Here's a few of my pics...
Bo down but not out. I actually dragged her out with my bike lying on her belly...classic!

Nice Pics but I can't really say I wish I were out there. After 5+ months, I think I can wait until it's a bit warmer to ride.


I like this picture, and if it were a corona, It would look like you're riding you bike on the beach and into the surf!

I'm with you DR. After getting my Softride checked out with Jeff, I decided to just leave it in the back of the El Camino for the night....just too cold in the atrium to spin and too lazy to move it to some place warm.

Now, if that had been a Tequila Sunrise instead of frozen beer.....nah.

Hey, but you guys and BO were in my thoughts though....yah right. :^)
