Rode Bent Creek and the lower trails around the Fish Hatchery this weekend.
It was awesome. Just enough snow and ice to make the trails totally different, but still rideable. The highlight was the climb up the road to the middle of Long Branch>Long Branch> Cat gap. The snow/freeze /melt cycle had worked in such a way that we were riding on top of about two inches of snow without any punching through, just crusing on top. Cat Gap was seriously icy, making this familiar descent a whole other animal.
Seriously-it was awesome. Brave the cold and get out there!
