It's Frosty. ..

We did just STT-Luge...was in good shape overall..just starting to thaw and only muddy in a few places...didn't stop the chain suck though.....very windy out most pics too big..will resize later

 

I thought i recognize that trail, I never thought i would see snow up STT- Nice pictures.

Happy new Years.

 

carbonlegs, how did you get to san juan with the ortega closure? pedal along the closed highway?

edit: caltrans site now says 74 is open. Wonder if they opened it earlier today and didnt change teh website till now.

 

So awesome! But we got WAY TOO much snow here in Sedona!

 

Riding in the snow and mud without a fatbike makes for a terrible day of riding and is just bad trail karma. Sorry I am grumpy

 

Very cool pics. Some pics from a couple of guys who took a hike up the Silverado Canyon.

 

Thanks for the info! I'll see what I can layer up.

 

Thanks, dcrfx. Appreciate it!!

 

Hard to believe that's San Juan. Nice pix! I made the mistake of not wearing enough layers today. The wind and cold got me good half way through my ride. I expect to see lots of people out exploring tomorrow. Happy New Year STR!

 

I made it up 7 miles of HTT and decided to turn around. It wasn't miserable or anything. Actually it was really good weather. I'm more of a plain clothes rider so I was in a wool/synthetic long sleeve, wool gloves, and fleece pants. I would suggest riding in flats and waterproof hiking boots if it gets this deep as my single layer of socks were soaked through, but not uncomfortable. I still had a puffy, thick wool socks, riding gloves, another long sleeve wool shirt, and a waterproof jacket in my bag. Also my usual 3 ways to start a fire just in case of an emergency, but I forgot my bivy.

 

How was the ride Gabe? Got pix with Mr Strait? My dh bike is still being built. The guy building it is lagging (me). Haha.
