Spooner Lake XC

Jeff Moser | December 31, 2007

In the winter months Flume Trail Bikes becomes the Spooner Lake Cross Country Ski Lodge. Cross country skiing is a great winter compliment to summer time cross country mountain biking. You get some exercise climbing the hills, you get to coast down the hills, and you even get to explore some of the same trails [...]

Last Lunch Ride of the Year

Jeff Moser | December 29, 2007

We had winner of a ride on Friday, the last lunch ride of the year. You couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for snow riding. The temperatures were just below freezing, and the light fluffy snow was falling. I met up with Jeff P and Jon, and we headed for Ash Canyon. After [...]

With no specific ride plan in mind, we pedaled north towards our usual route, but [...]

Jeff Moser | December 24, 2007

Friday morning I was roused out of bed at 4:30 AM because of a problem at work. Since I was already up, and the problem was taken care of, I decided to just go into work early. What the heck…I’m late every day, let’s try something new! The marquee at Mills Park said 12 degrees! [...]

A winter storm moved through the area yesterday morning, decreasing visibility on the commute as the wind driven snow stuck to my glasses. I was still plenty warm in spite of the weather though!  A water resistant wind breaker and a neck gaiter kept me dry and kept the bitter cold wind out. As I [...]
