Saturday Snow Ride Pics

[Heidi]

Well, I knew the local mountain had gotten some freak snow Thursday night/Friday morning so I figured the trails would be pretty tacky. Tacky with snow! We did a nice little 20 mile loop half dusty half snowy.

Mt Bachelor view during the beginning of the ride...which previously had NO snow on it.

Deep in the forest it was heavy in spots with arond 4-5" but then there were clear sections as well.

Totally good times, followed by good beer that evening.

beautiful pics... must be nice to have a cool brisk air ride to open up those lungs! I always love the cold air cough I get after my cold weather rides!

Well, I know what to expect on this years Bend Big Fat Tour!

[Heidi]

HA - when I did it a couple years ago there was a blizzard the last day! Who knows, I keep hearing we are supposed to have a dry winter and then this happens. Weird stuff!

[TreeSaw]

Wow, snow already! I keep hearing not so much snow this winter and I am not going to believe it!

Oh, I am so not ready for snow!!! I'm prepared for a bad winter, and am even trying to be optimistic about it, with the idea that I'll try snowboarding again. (Last time was a concussion and broken wrist.) But I'd really like a nice, mild, winter.


gorgeous pics!

As long as the snow is not too deep, I'll keep riding.

Cool pics, thanx.
