COB A.D.D.

The Central Oregon area has had a recent warm up which has created a bit of a dilemma...the snow is not exactly primo & the immediate trails are not ride ready quite yet.  This does not mean there is a lack of alternative for play though.  With a little motivation there are places that are rideable right now and there are plenty of places to road ride, skate ski, snow show, climb, etc...

Friday was a really nice day weather wise and I was able to sneak out of work just a wee bit early and squeeze in a road ride before the sun started to set.  I was pleasantly surprised by how many fellow riders were out trying to milk the good weather.  What struck me while riding was that it is common place to see people taking advantage of these windows to get out and ride - it is amazing just how many people were out.  The benefit to that is it creates an awareness for drivers...they tend to get used to seeing bikers and as a result, they are just part of the landscape.

It was a great way to start the weekend -
