Well after DW got scared of riding today Billy Fritz and I went to evart because we figured the trail would be clear from bike tracks because every one is afraid to ride there in the winter and we were right....except for an adventurous snow mobile rider that ducked on and off the trail. I think Evart is like 23-25 miles long, we rode the whole loop and it took us 2.75 hours with a few small breaks. Snow was about 8-12 inches deep, some spots were drifting happened it was deeper but not as deep as wehn we rode in TC a few weeks ago.
Bill being the good snow rider that he is let me lead and that helped we had a good time, had a hell of a work out and by the time we saw the trucks were were glad but happy we did it.
No major problems really, a few falls for both of us and bill helped me pick my bike up out of precarious predicaments but sometimes leading you don't get a chance to get around dead fall quick enough-but we really didn't have any impassable spots and made all the hills...well I got stuck at the top of one and showed bill a better line...just being nice. :nod:
Stopped after the ride and had a big subway sub and headed home. :cool:
I guess we will have to wait to see if mother nature gives us another thaw or the riding singletrack is closed for the season now because it was blizard conditions as we finished the last 2-3 miles and all the way home.
Billy and me have conquered Evart in the snow but be advised it ain't for the weak and out of shape. :nener:
