Snow and "not Spring" for the next few months.

People say it's supposed to snow tomorrow.

I'll let that sink in for a minute.

If any of you were here in Spokane last winter (and the winter before that) you will easily remember how ridiculous and deep the snow got. I had twenty-five inches in my back yard over a twenty-four hour period. That's two feet. One inch. I'm really not looking forward to anything like that again. [An apology goes out to my snow boarder friends.]

The long and short of it is that the biking season may be over for me unless the fog lifts before it get too late today. I came across a web page, via the Fat Tire Trail Riders Club site, called Five Mile Bluff that has pictures and maps of a trail system just north of Francis Ave., off Indian Trail Rd. I'd like to go check it out before I'm forced to wait until next year. If not, this has been one of the best seasons as far as number of rides and all out enjoyment on my part. I'm looking forward to Spring. Winter is pretty and all, but refer above to previous paragraphs.

In my next post, I'll go over my best ride of the year and explain how Beacon Hill is remarkable in that there are seeming endless trails to explore and how, in a way, one of them is responsible for what may be my first broken finger.
