Solstice ride and SNOW!

I think the Mayan's world ended yesterday but i can't be sure. But up in the Nederlands, all was well last night after preparing the ranch for the upcoming big storm.  Everything (pony poop, for example) that you don't pick up will be buried for a long long time if you don't take care of it now!  They were calling for 8-16" and we woke up to just around 14-16" depending on settlement.  Hayride, Powers and I got out on what may be the last small-tire (not a fatbike) MTB ride on westMag for awhile.  Left and headed up Pungee at around 5:45pm and returned an hour an a half later having done a lil lollipop loop.

 Hayride was sporting the snowmobile pogies and that's all i could see of him. They're HUGE! And toasty.

 

 A pitstop at the usual place although there was no scenery to be seen (it was dark).  It was the start of the storm and just dumping.

The beer of the night was some solsticey Norwegian smoked barleywine which was...interesting. Can't say that I'll get it again but glad we tried it. We chased it with some hot tea and a slug of whiskey before heading down the trail.  Even if you hike more when snowbiking, it's SO much f'ing fun going down!
