Post work ride: Mt. Falcon
Had a great time yesterday, found out how much of a climb this trail really is WOW!!! I didn't have time to completely summit but I still had fun. I have plans to return shortly to make it to the top. Blew a flat on my front tire on the way down, bummer! Conditions varied, most of the trail was hard packed snow, there was some mud, some tacky and some dry spots.

That's awesome. I live in your neck of the woods but just started mountain biking this year. I find it quite hard, I'm not good at technical stuff and crashing all the time. I wish I were good enough to enjoy this stuff though without fear of hurting myself.

I don't deal with snow here but wouldn't you slide all the way down the mtn if it were hardpacked?
..I just about slide down some of the hills here on hardpacked stuff with the small rocks.

It's leaning uphill, resting on the toe clip and the chain tension is keeping the crank in place!
