Snow Daze

Tuesday last was a festive one. We celebrated Spawn Day with balloons
perfect riding conditions, a party at the bottom of 8B, and copious guacamole, Jamaican Pain, and rye at the Taco Table.
Fortunately, the unchallenging conditions didn't last long so FT3 doesn't have to worry about getting soft. A Sunday recon found snow

Fortunately all the trails were rideable. At least downhill. Hopefully by ride time the volume of slush will diminish. Otherwise, spare no effort to protect your toes.

If a night time snow ride isn't enough action, on Saturday afternoon/night/Sunday morning FT3 will tramp the fabled hobo circuit. I saw a couple vagabonds a week ago who had ridden up the tracks. They said it was pretty muddy.

      Friends of mine from when we lived in Humboldt. Now one is a teacher in Sac and the other is pretty much a hobo.

    Out tonight, if it weren't for baseball practice it would be for the out of hand back pain I am currently experiencing. I shall brave the elements with you hard men again soon. Tear it up. HoBo ride is not looking good for me this weekend, still holding out for the possible roll down to meet the group.

      Looks like ride temps will be 32F. As cold as it can get and stay slushy
