A little ride in the snow...

I took my son and his BMX out the the trails today. This was his first venture out to the trails and there was a threat of snow, but I did not think it would stick. We were sure in for a treat. Here are a few pictures from the ride today.

Thanks for looking.

Start:


A nice hill:


It was a little slick out for this one:


Fire road:


Lollipop trail end:

I am surprised that after two months, this post finally gets a few comments. It was slippery, but fun. We have had more snow here lately...About 3 inches at these trails today. I have not been riding for a while waiting for an upgrade (Fox F100 RLC), a broken shift lever and giving up my for to my son well before the Fox gets here (I have taken off the REBA and gave it to my son, who is building up the GT). Thanks for taking the time to comment.

87octane,
Thanks for pointing that out, I did not spend any time looking into why one would post in the old thread.

Drew12,
Thanks. I am hoping to go back this weekend and take a few more pics with much more snow.

Wow, great place to ride. The snow gives a place a whole new feel. It is great to see the youngster out in the woods too. Thanks for sharing. Here is my bike after a recent romp in the snow.
