The weatherman, the NWS and radar all said no rain till after 5pm and in the high 50s but cloudy. So I headed to the trailhead, and found a steady rain and cold wind…. I waited a bit and decided to skip it and play tennis instead.
Music to my ears… all trails are open due to frozen conditions. I wasn’t expecting the middle of the singletrack to be 2 inches deep ice, and some of the high speed turns were sheets of ice, so an interesting ride this morning.
I love these ice crystals that form up from loose soil… the first time I noticed them was at Rumbling Bald a few years ago, and now I look for them.
I swear this look so much cooler on the phone.
