Twenty one degrees on the back porch at 5:30 this morning. Took the road to Landing meetup on the fixie 96ie of course. XX, W, and JS had just arrived. We rolled at 6:01 toward Nacho. Seibold crashed on the berm root ball log at the Renegade entrance. It was perfect timing because it allowed us to see Krash coming in off Landing 2 minutes late.
Renegade>Nacho>Belmont Woods (ice breaker thru creek)>Rockburn up the right>Ridge>FRESHIES on Valley View alternate>Ridge>Cascade (exit W, XX, and Krash at Grovemont)>Lights out...Lewis and Clark>Old Track counter clockwise>Log Jon realized he had lost his keys upon return to trailhead. Luckily they were sitting in the snow a few hundred yards from the car where he had yard saled earlier on the log;-) Then on my way out I fell hard in the creek crossing after Farm Field. The ice looked like a skim coat but it was thick and slick. Front tire went sideways and left foot went thru the ice (thank goodness for booties). Tried to use the keplunk as a dab and ride out but I feel to the right, smacked right elbow and hip on the ice and didn't break thru thankfully. Yeouch...that's gonna leave a mark;-) Conditions were good. Dry packed tire tracks with pretty good traction. My rear tire is pretty bald and I could have afforded to go about 4psi lower so I spun out on the steeper bits on Ridge.
