Vermont Overland Maple Adventure Ride with Bruce & Eric. Climby, muddy, greasy, icy, snowy..... A lot of work but totally worth it. Climbed ok, had to walk a few where the power required wasn't worth the forward progress - better progress had by walking. Some pretty sketchy & conservative downills, but never dumped it.

First trail run since Jan 17th and first run of any sort since Feb 8. Conditions still suck, lots of postholing, even on the snowmobile packed dirt on Sodom Rd. Bailed on the rest of the crew and shuffled back. Will give if at least a few more weeks... or perhaps just focus on cycling for the spring season with an occasional local O event.

3 miles might be optimistic, just a guess..

Short jaunt at dark. Had readjusted handlebars so an evening ride to readjust the lights. Dirt roads mostly firm, a little peanut butter. Worst was trying to pick a line between potholes in relatively short headlight beam. Suppose I could point it a bit further up the road - beam has a pretty well defined cutoff at the top to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Nice to get out on a weekday... barely..

More snow forecast tonight. Oh joy... 1-3" - not enough to fret about, but enough to make an AM bike attempt sketchy.
