Sunday was to be the last "real" training ride before the Su100 next Saturday but the collision of gorgeous weather, perfect trail conditions, stunning scenery, and so many snow biking friends on the trail left a perma-grin on my face all day.
Herds of elk were soaking up the sunshine
Herds of snow bikers were exchanging stories and sharing their favorite snow bike snacks
Highlights from Sunday's ride in the Gros Ventres:
1) Mike P.'s first real snow bike ride
2) Meeting up with JayP and T-Race on their way home from a 60-mile overnight snow bike ride
3) Michelle rallying to join us with just 30 minutes of notice after her original plans got cancelled
4) Riding with Chris E. for the first time all winter. (that just sounds wrong)
5) Jill's ever-present smile and infectious love of snow biking.
As for the training, now it is just a matter of rest + execution on my part. The work has been done and the foundation has been laid.
next stop is kick some butt at Su100!
