The seasons are changing and we are in the weird shoulder season where there is some snow around town but not enough yet to get out an play the winter sport game yet. Saturday lended itself to take the Fatback out on its inaugural ride.
I decided to go out to the Phil's trail system and see what conditions were like. As it turns out, they were perfect! The trails were super tacky and the despite the snow accumulation of about 3 inches at the highpoint of the ride (a little over 5,000 ft), I could have gotten away on the regular mtn bike but it was time to break in the Chubby!
I rode from the house and connected into the trail network via Ben's which I took up to Helipad and then back down again - miles and miles of smiles and therapy as I ran into very few people.
The snow was fresh, and in the places where the snow had been either packed or melted, the trails were sticky sweet tacky! mmm mmm mmm
let the season of snow biking in Bend begin.....
