It snowed friday at my upper ny state locale.
And given meput's plans to ski "the Loaf" this weekend due to the
gift this nor'easter was supposed to bring, I was almost tempted to chase some snow.

Then I remembered my credit card bill. It's been a great ski season. Now its time to settle up.

Oh, and time to try out that BRAND SPANKING NEW MOUTAIN BIKE I got sitting in the garage!!
As the 2 inches of wet, slushy stuff melt off my deck and yard, Jim and I  decided to do a first test ride with my new
wheels.

We did 5 miles. Some firm dirt trail, some mud, puddles, some softening icy/snowy spots in the shade.
WHAT A LOT OF FUN!

I am looking forward to a real ride. With appropriate foot wear. (forgot the biking shoes, so not cleated in).

There are a fair number of dirt roads in my neck of the woods to explore on our bikes. And a 30 mile single track in Pa we have our eyes on.

What bike you ask? What components?? Gee, I just ride the thing. Jim picked it out. Carbon with slx components is all I know. Disc brakes. Shocks??
Hmm, can't remember :D
Jim can fill you in. :-[
