The last one?

I have been treating every local singletrack ride as if it could be the last one of the season but today's ride may very well have been it.

The snow was just shallow enough to ride on regular tires

I am willing to get up early to catch the frozen trails before they turn to mud but when too much snow falls we are done. Three or four inches fell last night and more is in our forecast for tomorrow. It could melt off or it could continue snowing until March at this point and that makes today's ride worth it.
