Toosday Night Freshies

INCREDIBLE!!!! http://www.jahozafat.com/php/sounds/?id=bst&media=WAVS&type=Movies&movie=Madagascar&quote=fresh.txt&file=fresh.wav

I left HoCo freshies for everyone else at either end of Morning Choice, Lewis and Clark, Cascade, Valley View, and most of Ridge.  I stayed in the Belmont vicinity. 
Rode solo with iPod to start out but met Drew mid-ride and rode together for a while.  It was slippery out there particularly in the farm field ruts.  The initial freezing rain made for a slick undercoat to the rising powder.  Heavy snow at onset tapered to flurries by the end...helmet visor is key for keeping snow out of eyes.

Belmont>Farm Field>Log>Old Track CCW>Morning Choice (I noticed new fresh tracks and followed them...caught up to rider named Drew at the top of the hill just before the field on the way to Connector...henceforth, we rode together)>Connector>Ridge>

Rockburn Branch v^v (by this time the slippery undercoat had frozen up and trails were starting to give squeaky traction under rolling tires)>Belmont>Nacho>Renegade>a little loop in Rockburn (exit Drew)>Farm Field>final mini-loop to get the freshies on all Belmont Woods trails

Spectacular ride.  New gloves were toasty...almost too warm, they handled high 20s well.
