After seeing the snow covered trail conditions this morning while walking Buster, I decided it would be a nice break this morning to cut through the woods and ride some snow before making my way to work. The packed snow and ice made for some nice riding, but proved to be a little too much when breaking off the main trail to get out of the woods. It was the sort of tenuous crust that could break at any moment and off the beaten path it broke quite often. Often enough that it was easier to just walk it out. A few more hikes on that exit and it’ll be good to go. For now though, if I want to get out on the trails, I’ll need to contain the ride to the main loop around the reservoir and enter/exit from the same spot. No worries, a static snow loop is still better than a strict diet of pavement and slush.

Again, I’m already behind on keeping track of my mileage. The magnet on my wheel got turned around and didn’t keep track until I noticed near the end of the ride. So I’m already back to guesstimating. Oh well, there’s always next year, ha.

Anyway, I think I’ve got a name for the Tricross fixie…she shall now and forever be known as Aretha. Why? Well just like the Queen of Soul, she commands R-E-S-P-E-C-T and is big in all the right places.
