Finding Snow

The other day (remember when it was like 70 degrees) Seth and I went for a bike ride in the watershed.  The thing that we didn’t think about was that the watershed is just about the only place in the tri-county area that still was covered in about 4 inches of snow.  It made it really hard to bike.  It was a mess of a ride and we gave up after an hour (only like 4 miles because i started the computer late).

There was about a 3 inch path of hard ice we could ride on and if we got off of that even a bit we were in the “powder”.  This usually meant dismounting after spinning our tires for a bit.  As Seth said when I asked him if he thought the ride was worth it, “It was an experience.”  I will just add this to the list of ideas I didn’t really fully think through.

    No fretting! I bet some of the world’s most revolutionary ideas were impulsive. Too much analyzing would probably end in doing nothing. Ever. Hope you and Seth had a blast despite the challenges. Love the watershed. Thanks for making us aware it exists!
