RR: OctSNOWberfest
[Inline at: http://tinyurl.com/wobxd]
I sat and stared at my bikes last night. Would the trails in Evergreen be clear enough to ride or should I bring the road bike. It was a choice as both rider groups would be there in the morning and then partaking the the Octoberfest following the rides. After careful consideration of the skinny tires on hilly roads with snow melting sand, the idea of road rash from a fall made the decision easy. I'd go with the fat tires and ride even if no one else was going to. Arriving at the lake house, one couldn't help but notice the amount of snow surrounding the area. At first all I saw were roadies, but soon there were around ten of us ready for the Octsnowberfest ride. But first we must be blessed by the tumbleweed on this very cool '61 Schwinn. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4925.jpg The plan was to head up trailheads until we found one that was ridable. We start at the golf course. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4927.jpg http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4928.jpg I have no idea what the names of these trails are. All I know is that there are ten trailheads around the lake house. We tried to stay on the sunny side facing trails when possible. But sometimes your way can be blocked by other objects. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4931.jpg It's amazing how tame these elk are. We were just a few feet away. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4932.jpg We gather to collect the group and then head out again. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4933.jpg http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4934.jpg http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4935.jpg I'd say that about 75% of the trails were clean. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4936.jpg But the 25% that were not clean, well... http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4937.jpg In spite of the snow which was never more than 3" deep, everyone had a great time. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4939.jpg For some odd reason I found myself in the front of the pack on this ride. It must of been my superior NJ ice riding skills or more likely everyone going slow so they wouldn't get hurt. Miles of fun, snow, and hidden rocks. Fun! http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4940.jpg http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4942.jpg http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4943.jpg And then a slide down Didisse trail to the food, beer, and great people. http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4946.jpg http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4947.jpg http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/102906/IMG_4948.jpg -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |

We had our "local Octoberfest" this weekend also .... Of course in Munich it started on the 16th of Sept. and was over on October 3rd ...but whose counting. ~327 days until Oktoberfest 2007. R Rant mode off ... |

Penguiny, why are there no pictures of you?
How can I make fun of you if you have no pictures of yourself? Ride-A-Lot wrote: [Inline at: http://tinyurl.com/wobxd] I sat and stared at my bikes last night.
