Nothing like getting in a good ride and watching the sun come up. Swanson was frozen and fast this morning. It was like riding on sandpaper (sweet bacon).
Yea, it was frozen. It was also frozen Sunday am too. Big difference in the smoothness of the trails from Sat to Sun. I just want to thank all the idiots that came out to Swanson Saturday afternoon and destroyed the trails. Here are a few hints to help you determine if the trails are rideable: #1: if it's after 9am and sunny the trails are starting to thaw regardless of the temp. #2: if it feels like you are riding with flat tires. #3: if you can't see you knobbies because your tires are packed with mud. #4: if mud is flying off you tires. #5: if your tires won't spin because they are packed with mud. #6: your can see your tread pattern in the ground.
Just because you drove to the trails dosen't mean you have to do a lap and destroy them. You can always ride keystone, do urban assualt, wash you bike, take a nap, or do whatever.

Friend and I went to Platte this morning. It was also frozen and "sweet bacon", I think? It was good riding anyway!
Hell yeahs. So it froze uh? When I drug my ass out of bed it was already 36.
