Since we couldn't be skiing, we decided to go for a ride. We had planned on road bikes but it was incredibly windy so we opted for the easy MB trail around Salem Lake.



The gear





The riders - Bultaco and Skipink









Three miles out and back on a paved track to the lake, then 7 miles around the lake. Here the trail turns to gravel





Pics from the path























Loads of people out today,walking running and biking. Everyone thinks spring has sprung.

I got excited when I saw the Moto on the trailor, but saddened quickly when the Bicycles showed up.

Thanks. I hope we will be up for Beech's closing weekend and I'm kinda waiting to see what the weather brings for Ladies Day this week and next. Possibly the Meltdown Games but the logistics are difficult for that day so we will see.

This trailer has carried lots of things. It's sitting in the yard now full of furniture. Bultaco had actually planned to ride the Kawasaki this weekend but the place they like to go was closed due to the amount of snow to prevent damage to the trails. Gary Fishers are the next best thing.
