You still need a Sno-Park Permit to use the trails, and since Patty and I never bought season passes because we never skied this year, I bought a one-day pass, which costs $22. Which seems like kind of a lot, but in the big picture the cool thing here is that the park ranger is making this opportunity available to bikes, and what kind of oils the whole machine up there is Sno-Park revenue, and if bikes are part of the revenue stream and this enables even some limited access, I am all for it.
Parking was kind of problem, but
Mystery pal #1 was never here.
And mystery pal #2 was never here.
Am I just a lonely, solitary, delusional blogger who has further devolved into conjuring imaginary friends, or did I actually share a ride with substantive beings? And how weird is this whole secrecy deal, anyway? All good questions. Which shall remain unanswered.
There was a lot of ice on the trails nearest to the parking lot, but once
In other news, the Blackborow is such a rad bike. Man, I dig it. The more time I spend on it in, and the more surfaces I get it out on, the better it gets.
The new camera bag is working out pretty well, too. The one thing doesn't offer me is the ability to reach down with one hand and grab the fancy A600 and shoot while I'm rolling. I miss my little Canon S95 for this, so I taped it aboard for this trip. And it gave me what I wanted. So I may look for a more elegant attachment solution, or I may just freshen up the tape once in a while. Most likely the latter.
Aside from the nordic trails, there are other winter riding opportunities at Mt Spokane, and considering that the drive is just under an hour for me, I need to get up there more next winter. I think I'll just plan on buying a season pass at the beginning of next season. It's too cool of a place not to support and take advantage of once in a while.

Too funny. I hope your mystery friends had fun too
Dave, the great thing about imaginary friends is that they always have an AMAZING time hanging out with you. So yeah, a good time was had by all!
Hmmm...mystery friends must have told the wives they were "working" this weekend!?
Did you get caught breaking the rules - again? I bet you took your bikes down the ski slope and got busted. I would have.

Sorry, my [wife] said I had to stay [home] and work on our [relationship].
I keep a little Timbuk2 case on my backpack for my powershot -- very handy for my ongoing cigarette butt series at the busstops...
