Snow ride 2

For the second time this winter I have gotten in a ride in the snow. We only got about an inch, but it was enough to cover most everything with the white stuff. Took a ride to the beach to get some pictures, 14 miles round trip.

I'm glad you had fun. I must be missing something, though. I've spent the last 5 months recovering from a rotator cuff surgery. I crashed in perfectly good weather. I can't imagine purposely riding when traction is far from ultimate.

Right on! Perfect amount of snow - just enough to make things pretty and interesting

Yeah, I guess you have to go with what you're given. (I.E. living in a snowy area.) But like I said, I don't get it.

A friend is visiting his brother in Florida soon. I wonder if he'd visit him if he lived in North Dakota?

Okay, sorry for the hijack, delbiker1. Be careful and enjoy. I'm gone...
