Santa Claus had a case of premature surprise this weekend and decided to drop a little sum'n' sum'n' off for the missus. I had been plotting for a couple of weeks and was able to orchestrate a trip to Hamilton wih the missus as a getaway. Part of the getaway included a trip to Red Barn Bikes where waiting for her was a snow bike! I had chatted with Chad over at Red Barn and he had an awesome deal on a Mukluk and it was just in time for this Christmas thingie.
We went over under the guise of checking out the bike shop...if you have not made a stop into Red Barn and you happen to be in the hood (Hamilton, MT), it is a must see. The shop is one of those very unique shops that has stuff in tons of nooks and crannies. As you stop to take inventory, you realize there is more there than upon first glance. Red Barn is a bike afficionado's crack. You can get into a lot of trouble as there is plenty of temptation to distract you.
Speaking of distraction...the wife was definitely surprised (or at least played the role) when she figured out we were there to pick up a bike for her. She did a quick test spin around the parking lot and was smiling ear to ear as she rode through the white stuff. A good day indeed!
We went up to Blodgett Canyon and rode the trail for a little while until the snow was not packed down enough to ride. It was a blast. The dogs had great fun, the bikers had equally as much fun and the missus got to take her new ride out.
