I can count on one hand the number of times I have been able to ride in the snow, while snowing. It truly is a special and fun time. The trails at Fairhill were superb this morning as a large cast showed up to enjoy what will likely be the last mountain bike ride for some time. The cast included (hope I don't miss anyone):

Biddle (the tye domi of cross), Dan the Man, Slick Rick, Todd the Maestro, Fuzzy, Mike K, Green trek John, Buddy, Alan the cleaner, James, Andrew Mc, Keith G. (bobby's boy),Paul G, Jay Jay, Fitzy, Brian B.

I was pleased with my ride. I was able to hang on for 52 minutes or so this week before getting dropped and was out for 1:30 all told. Alan flatted very early on, Jay Jay and I cuddled to stay warm. Biddle, Dan the man, and Slick Rick were laying the smack down all day. Once I was dropped Fitzy and Andrew Mc, were kind enough to accompany me back to my toaster. Truly a special and fun ride. Epic and enjoyable all at once.
