With temps in the 40’s today I was determined to get into the woods and give it my best shot of riding despite all of the snow which is still around. To make a long story short…it was impossible to ride anywhere… except for down stuff. I like riding down stuff.
Twice I hiked my way up through 6 inches of dense wet snow to the highest point Lincoln Woods has to offer. Now if you’ve ridden at Lincoln Woods you know that you are most likely riding uphill or downhill the whole entire time. As a result, the two trips I spent pushing my bike up hills were well spent on the slip sliding journey on the way down.

I concur. This is the worst in recent memory, or at least in the 10 years I’ve been back in NE. I’m missing the NC winters about now.

Who rides their bike in the winter? It’s ski season.

Hey Fira, thanks for the compliments and glad you came back to check it out! What do you think of the class so far? Personaly, I think it’s going wayyy too slow. We really haven’t learned much…

It is going kind of slow but that isn’t a bad thing I guess, all my other classes are going at the speed of light (well, I’m probably exaggerating haha). Hopefully we’ll get into the gist of things soon though. I think you had guts showing her your blog haha, I definitely wouldn’t have shown her mine. I just left a link to it for you to check out, mine is definitely more of a for-fun-personal thing that only my friends read though.
