When I left for Pocohontas State Park the temps were a balmy
20 deg F. But that was a good thing because it meant the trails would have a
nice solid coating of snow and would not be muddy. And so they were with more
traction than you would expect.
I arrived solo and completed my winter riding dress in my
car not daring to lose precious body heat before getting fully geared up. No one
else from the team had confirmed they would make it out for the days scheduled
BTS ride. I did hear from Joe Fish that he might join me at 9:00.
After a quick GoPro test I got ready to roll out and Joe
showed up. I rode around the trails a bit as he got geared up.
We rolled out and knocked out a bunch of the Green and Blue
trails before heading over to Lake View and riding all three of those trails.
Conditions were awesome!
I brought my GoPro and made a short movie, check it out!
After our first “lap” that was about two hours we stopped
back at the cars to get some food. We saw Dave H. had just arrived and was
getting ready to ride. He hopped on our train and we rode the green, blue, and
red trails for about an hour and a half.
Riding in the snow is a ton of fun and really sharpens your
mountain bike skills. I had a great time riding with Joe and Dave H.
After about three and a half hours ride time, I was really
glad to get back to the car.
Cheers!
