Trail Clearing...Then it Snows!

I took advantage of the another reasonable weekend. Decent temps and no rain during the day. I took to the local trails with a rake in tow. After a few hours on Saturday and Sunday I must say they look pretty good. Should help get things rolling a little sooner in the spring. I also took the time to scrape out a few new short sections of single track. Should make for a lot nicer night riding. I think we'll be able to see the trail now.

This mornings ride to work included the first snow. I was able to take my new NEOS overshoes for a test though. I picked up a pair of the Adventurer™. I think this now completes my crap weather commuting gear. It was the only place I was lacking in weather protection. I'm happy to report that today's light test was a success. I'm almost hoping for a rainy day for a tougher test. I'm confident that in the snow they will be fine on the bike. However that would require a pair of studded tires as well. Perhaps that will be the next review.
