Daddy-daughter rides are always great, especially when the trails are steep and rocky and the conditions are snowy. Last Sunday, Michael Carpenter and I rode Short Mountain, a seven mile ridge trail with serious tech-gnar. When we got there that morning, it was snowing heavily and the wind seemed unforgiving. We let the snow die down a bit before pedaling up the road to start our ride, and the snow completely stopped right when we got to the top of the climb. The trail is a personal favorite of mine, and the two-inch snow blanket covering the trail made for even more of a challenge and learning experience. Dad even double flatted (and he runs a Minion on the rear!). It was great to get out on (hopefully) the last cold and snowy day of the year. Join us on the Friday Fatty rides in the next few weeks if you want to get a taste of the trail yourself!
