maaan...I'm working dayside at the hospital on Thursday. I need to get out on a trail soon. At least I can get a bit of practice around the yard on my own once in a while.

You guys are killing me! The last decent day before winter finally shows up and snows out riding for the foreseeable future and I can't play; fuk, fuk, fuk... :frustrated:

I hope you have a good ride. I still might get so pissed off that I take a vacation day during tax season and join you, but that would cost me dearly.....:sobstory:

A little chilly but still an awesome ride at the Cove. Some new signage had us confused at one point and we took a wrong turn. We found ourselves near the end of the red trail and we had fun riding it in reverse direction. (This is sort a no-no, but as literally the only people there riding...). Reverse was fun. Was awesome riding up some of the steep down hills. With the ground frozen the traction was amazing, except for where there was ice patches. I had a few slips but managed to keep it on two wheels. A heavier four stroke bike might have taken a few naps.
We ended day riding the blue trail first right way, then turned right around and rode it backwards. Was fun.
I was also riding my loaner Beta Crosstrainer. Was a really nice bike. Id like to ride it back to back with a Beta 300r but still Id be happy with that as my bike. If possible I will ride the beta in one of the spring enduros before I have to give it back to my buddy.

Glad we made it out for a ride. Since winter snows might finally be coming.

Same blue trail. Here is a little Wingfixer yamaha clip

Tricky spot. Some water but some thick ice you had to climb up on. Wet tires were very slippery.
