Todays ride: Took the old Pro Flex

Well plans did not go as planned today. My wife is currently stuck in Wyoming and the highways were closed all day (Just recently opened)! She has drifts 4+ feet deep on 3 sides of her Discovery and a fence on the 4th. So after watching reports, conditions, and such around 3:30 we decided it was going to be tomorrow before she was going to be able to come back home. Well I had already been home all day on the net/phone and had to get out! I took the old 1994 Pro Flex 754 for it's first run since I got it. I have done a few items on it for repair and figured today was a great day for a shake down run. Went from my apt. to Glendale Open space and back. While the total mileage is not impressive the snow made for a good work out. All of the hikers prints made the first uphill more of a hike a bike but I still had a blast!











Well I was out longer than I thought ( along with starting later then I realized) it got dark on me. Glad I always carry my camping headlight just in case.






Don't have pics from when it was dark, but the last bit was fun. I had a dog sprint across a parking lot after the owner took off the leash for him to get in the car.. Yeah that was scary. Got a couple garage shots after the ride
