We had plans to ride our new bikes to the cabin before the holidays but after twisting my knee while skiing and then a bit of late season field work it never happened. So finally last weekend we made it happen. The trail conditions were perfect, hard packed but not icy, with temperatures just below freezing. The bikes performed great and we made good time getting to the cabin.
Our friends Wynne and Nicholai also purchased new fat tire bikes this winter and joined us for the weekend. They came in later on Saturday but I was able to send them a GPS track and detailed directions. Molly even sent them photos of some of the intersections. Modern technology can make navigation easy!
The conditions were so good that I went for an extra ride with Wynne and Nicholai out to Chase and back to the cabin Sunday morning. It felt like a March day but we were reminded it was still February by the early darkness. Even though it was a clear day, the sun was noticeably low on the horizon.
We had so much fun that we are planning on going back again this weekend with my parents. This time it should be even easier as my parents will be able to haul our food and gear on the snow machine.
