Not done snow biking yet

Conditions at Togwotee weren't as good as the last Togwotee Winter Classic, but they didn't suck either.

It was surprisingly chilly on top of the big climb

The original plan was to do two laps on the 25-mile race course but we decided that pushing out snow bikes through slush didn't sound fun so we bagged the second lap idea. The snow was definitely getting soft as the sun got high but we were able to ride 98% of the loop.

Big Dave Saurman joined me for the adventure

Catching the trails early is definitely the key this time of year. I got up at 5:30am but really I should have gotten up two hours earlier to complete two laps. Doh!

The day warmed up quickly

It looks like some quality time on the pavement is on tap for tomorrow.

Glad you guys had a good day out. Was it windy up there like it was in the rest of the valley? A 330 wake up call would have been rough! 25 miles is better than no miles I suppose. I rode my motorized bike about the same distance.
