Not sure what to expect-never biked in 3" of powder let alone 12"
regardless..... 2 of us are meeting at the Eric Carle museum lot to tackle Earl's at 830am....(I don't have studded tires, shoe covers, or even winter gloves)

Will post a post-ride review

Expect to go hiking (while pushing your bike) and to have cold hands and feet :)

thanks for your predictions.....boots and gaiters will be packed for a potential sudden mission call off (like 30 seconds into the 'ride')

I've ridden Earl's in three inches of snow-when mixed with the three inches of oak leaves underneath-well, it's quite a work out. However, I think you'll find it hard to find earl's trails tomorrow much less ride them. But I'm curious to hear how it goes! Good luck!

Sounds like a good choice!

Skis or snowshoes are a better option for the next few days.
