Tracking up the backcountry

 Why ride? I guarantee, you won't be thinking of your "to do" list or world problems. You might be strategizing how you can climb that hill or concentrating on winding your way through the trees or just following along on the logging road. 

You will see some amazing scenery, get some exercise - YES, exercise. It's more than just sitting on a seat, although if you want to ride that way, you can but you won't make it off the trail or through the deep snow. You will meet some great people who enjoy getting out and exploring. 

The next questions always asked is: "Don't you get cold?" Proper gear keeps you warm and dry and is money well spent. Usually you're removing a layer. 

You will learn skills by watching other riders and learning what NOT to do. Our club members have various skill levels.

 

Miles of scenery

Logging going on ahead - team work!

Fluffy powder

Someone "usually" knows the way, they did on this ride!

Lots of help for those "oops" moments

Jeanne's hill - she should have been here to demonstrate how it's done

Being adventurous


Fun and freedom

And the only way to become a better rider is to ride.
