Today Martin and I rode Red Sonja in about 3 or 4 inches of snow. The fresh snow on top of the leaves made things a little bit interesting. It took longer than normal to get to the top, but I do not think it took us much longer to get down. The snow made sliding in and out of berms a lot of fun.

Walking up the trail in the snow made me feel like a kid again. Riding down put a huge smile on my face and reminded me why I ride. I am sure Martin felt the same way and for me this was possibly the best ride in 2009 ... so far.

I got a couple of helmets in the mail today from Kali, thought riding in the snow would be a good way to test them out. Here are a couple of shots of my bike and helmet in the snow.
And for the record I only fell down once. Keep riding.
