Embarrassingly enough, I got my first bike ride of the year in this morning. Beau and I managed to get our asses out of bed and out into the cold and enjoy a nice easy ride at Water Dog. The place isn’t too muddy, although it was enough to get Beau’s previously pristine bike dirty. :)
Despite getting my crap together last night, I still managed to forget my mountain bike shoes, but still rode. Riding in the wet/mud with Keens isn’t recommended, but I didn’t fall.
We rode up Fatboy/Upper Ridge to Car/Rambler. At the split, we cut to New French/Ohlone and back to the cars. Ohlone was pretty soggy and the mud there has historically been slicker-than-snot. It still was, but the trails are holding up better than I’d expected, and it was all rideable. I’m looking forward to getting out as much as possible with all the wet weather we’ve been getting.
