1st snowy singletrack ride

3 tracks
 Three singlespeed cross bikes on the morning after the 1st snow of the season (4-6" depending on where you live up around Ned) felt a lot like a mini-IGSSC. Many of the pilots and other crossers were racing the 2nd day up at the Ft. Collins cross grand prix, getting their UCI points for the Master's Worlds in Kentucky later on this season. 

Heyride, me, and the Powers - who "donated" her $40 to the race promoters instead of racing today (good choice) - headed out at the crack of noon-thirty and rode Blue dot and Reboot. It warmed to 45 degrees or so from the 15 degrees we woke up to.  Quote of the day from Powers while trying to slow down on the wet snowy trails, "brakes are merely a suggestion today..."
