Sat Jan 14, 2017 - Big Dummy - First Snow Of the Season - Family playtime

Today was a slightly better day weather wise than it has been for a while.
It was also a day of two halves riding wise.
The snow was falling late last night so I was hoping it would still be lying for when we got up so we could have a ride in it before it went away. Last year we barely had a day of decent snow as we are too near to the coast. There was a bit on the ground when we got up and so we loaded the big Dummy with Calebs sled hooked up, and off we went for a relaxed few miles locally just playing around and with Heather and Spot joining us. It was a good two hours out with the family just rolling around enjoying the sunshine and snow, though it was very cold.

Then after returning home, doing a few chores, having some lunch while warming up, I thought seen as how any snow left was turning to slush, I had better get the Pugsley out for a few miles. It was getting even cooler and the sun was quickly heading away for the evening so a few miles out around the lanes near home was going to have to do. It was a bit more frozen by now and the slush was freezing quick but the tyres on the Pugsley just plow through and grip to anything. Thankfully there were a few nice miles where nothing had been on the road so it was still nice powder. Another nice ride, but to be honest it's pretty rare to have a bad ride these days. Thankful for each one, whether it's solo or with friends or family.

Hope everyone else had a good day where ever and what ever you were doing. Jamie A nice relaxing way to spend Saturday
