We had beautiful weather and it had been warm since the weekend, but that was not enough to melt off the big snow from last week from the North side of  the trails.  We made it up and partially down Mt. Carbon, but from there down to the dam was crusty, icy snow.  In interest of safety, we turned around and wound around some other sunny trails.  Nice stream crossings and scenery.  Not many rocks on the trails - mostly sand and crushed granite trails.  I think we passed one biker.  We still had a nice hour ride, then went back and messed around in the decent large ourtdoor arena where we parked.  The arena ground is sand with some rubber mixed in.  For the next few months our plan for these normal trail ride days will be to go to Jeffco Fairgrounds to get together and ride.  We will plan to be there about 10:30ish and stay for a few hours.  The cost is $5.  See the website for more details and pictures of todays ride - Thanks for the pictures Nancy!
