dirt dame 561 Posted January 24, 2010 So I got up this morning and wandered out to the garage to wheel the TE out. Trajan got gassed up and checked over. I didn't know how much snow might actually be at McCain this morning and the MT21s were looking a might nubby and worn for snow play. The rest of the gang promised to show with two strokes, so....Trajan got rolled back into the garage and Riley got rolled out and loaded up. It hadn't snowed as much as I had feared that it might and all the roads were in good shape all the way out. When I rolled in to the staging area, MCtrails was there with his 300. After a little while, Brad and Briana arrived and then we all set out to play in the snow and mud for a few hours. After that, we stopped in Pine Valley to hoist some chocolate shakes, and then it was time to head home. It was a certified zoo at Pine Valley with all the "city folks" parked wall to wall along the highway to play in a small margin of dirty snow. Silly people....get yourselves some dirt bikes and have some real fun in the snow. Some pics from snow play day. I-8 is nice and clean all the way out. Some areas were snowier than others. What a difference a couple of days can make. The road into the staging area. There's Alan ready to unload his bike. The two B's getting ready to ride. Out on the trail. I plunked my KDX right here and it seemed like a scenic spot for some pictures. Overlooking the lower desert from on high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaugh 1 Posted January 24, 2010 I'm rather happy I didn't goya, you would have been surrounded by lound unreliable annoying 2 strokes. conditions were awesome. lots of puddles, lots of snow, no ice, no goggles. Traction was great. Now I understand why you go out there when it rains mimi. Briana and I both really enjoyed todays ride. Going uphill flowing creeks is awesome. Alan nice riding with you as always. We sprayed down the bikes when we got home, they are cleaner then when we got there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mctrails 38 Posted January 24, 2010 That was a fun ride! Thanks Mimi, for setting it up and leading around. It was good to ride you you again Brad and Brianna. Thank you all for a GREAT ride in the virgin snow. Conditions were awesome today. Mostly clear skies and cool temperatures. A thin layer of snow covering a moist DG base made for great traction just a little on the slippery side here and there. Made for some interesting riding and lots of fun in the snow. A rare opportunity with fantastic conditions. This is what it's all about... Here is a spot where we were riding along and Mimi decided to jump off her bike and make snow angels. I don't think it was intentional. I like the nice contrast between the green and orange bikes highlighted in the snow. Brad and Brianna. Fresh tracks!

ktm-licious 0 Posted January 25, 2010 conditions are just insanely good, 2 days in a row, less white stuff today but full on rock and roll. Great pics, makes me want to take a day off from work and go and play in the snow. Never ridden my bike in the snow very curious how it would handle! From the looks of the weather we might get more snow next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the looks of the weather we might get more snow next week. Snow is strange stuff. It wasn't deep enough to make much of a difference for the most part on Saturday, but I told Briana that riding on snow feels kind of like biting into cotton candy.

robertaccio 412 Posted January 25, 2010 was not like the last year snow riding we did (frozen and very slick),,,,this was unfrozen dirt under snow and traction was crazy good even on the virgin snow trails. by today (sun) most snow was off the trails.

robertaccio 412 Posted January 25, 2010 same place, here, later that same day @1200hours (23JAN10), maybe some of the same trails(??) posted it anyway..see pm sent is this a hijack??(i hope not) note to DD, the inclusion of the very green '94 KDX200 (his KTM450 is in full clean up mode) should make it OK.
