Sadly, I'm done for the year. It hasn't been super cold and there's no real snow yet but the forecast is steady rain and i take off for a ski holiday with my daughter monday. By the time I get back, forget it.
So I got one last good ride in yesterday. Overcast but dry roads and 9 degrees at noon (nearly 50F - woohoo). Got to my favorite local spots and generally cruised the afternoon away.
Today it was cleaning and wd-40 spray time. Sad but it's time to move on. ski hills here i come.

That is sad, Bill. The only thing to say is I hope you have an early spring.

Going out to whistler/Blackcomb in British Columbia. Our west coast has been drenched with rain but in the mountains it's snow. They've already got 5 foot of snow base and it's been snowing steadily, a few inches a day.

I've always wanted to ski Whistler/Blackcomb. You're a lucky guy. Have a great time. My wife and I are thinking of moving to NC or SC so on line I checked out some of the ski areas near Asheville. They're pretty lame. Barely a bump there.
