We head off down the dirt road to the singletrack and so far, so
good.  Things are not quite frozen over as I would have hoped, but
the snow is keeping the sand down, somewhat.  However, I look down
at the drive train and the snow is already caked up pretty good. 
I should have brought the single speed, but my legs needed a litle rest.

We hit the singletrack and lay down fresh tracks.

Hoss bails out a little early, but we head on.  

It’s a little tougher than one might think.  The snow is wet, so
the resistance on the wheels is giving us a good workout.  

We ride the new trail to the purple trail.  The purple trail is a
good one, and it will be even better once it gets a little more
use.  Then it’s onto the Red Hat trail.  This is actually a
trail that goes up and down Mount Devious (all 40ft of it).  It’s
actually not too bad although it is still a little sandy because the
freeze has not set it.  My camera battery dies at this point
(don’t by generic batteries – stick with canon brand) and so I can’
show you the "Red Hat".  Our little way of turning this into our
own American Standard (no comparison – AS is the bomb).  Then it’s
down in between the tight pines, which is a great feature to add some
challenge to a non-technical trail.  We finish off with a long
boring rail ride back to the car.  At this point things are
melting, I am wet, and I can’t feel my toes.

another fun day!
