'T' minus 2 days

'T' as in Togwotee Winter Classic.  I am leaning towards the 25 mile version (there is also a 35 mile option) of the event since it looks like there will be fresh snow for Saturday's snow bike ride.  I am looking forward to heading down and exploring a new area.  We have been through the area before but have never stopped to explore.

The Togwotee area has a series of snowmobiling trails and the race runs along some of the trails.  My hope is that the trails will be packed down well from snowmobile traffic and the weather will stay cold enough such that the snow stays 'hard'-packed.  It should be an awesome day to be out playing in the snow.  It will be about a 6 hr haul to get there but am hoping once we arrive we can chillax for a bit during the weekend (race day being the exception).

I use the word 'race' loosely as it will be a noobie experience for me and it will be fun to do a little sum'n' different.  More than anything, it will be fun to hang out with other like-minded phatties and compare notes on gear choices, etc.  With a little luck, we can get out on the bikes both days and do some riding in a new place with some killer scenery.

Giddyup!
