Wonderful Weekend Winter Wonderland Widing

A wonderful weekend of winter riding :-)

Oh...you want more details? Well..... saturday was a Fromme day - again - but its such good riding how could I not? Little Jonny wasnt been near his bike in a while so we stuck to a solid run up to Seventh then the pedally way down Leopard, Crinkum, Griffin, Natural High etc. The ground was frozen solid so plenty of grip and not too much filth/mud. The wood was still pretty slick but much more ridable than the other night. We ripped down, had a great ride. mmm Fromme....

Sunday was pretty cool too. Derek invited me up to Squampton to ride with Clark (crazy doc) Arthur (talented Frenchy) and Wade (no comment) plus a couple late arrivals. Wade is only 4-5 weeks out of knee surgery so taking it easy but that didnt seem to stop them from doing a crazy pedally ride up and down more mountains than you can shake a stick at!

It was pretty frantic and pretty cold so not many photos today. Here we are just topping out for the last time as the sun set.











We weren't alone up there though - a couple trials riders had beaten us to the top

During the day today we had a snapped XO mech, a snapped fork (Pike), and a busted freehub! Some "easy" ride eh!!







This was the top of the final, final descent - Rampage! Its not ridden much but i think thats mainly because you have to practically rock climb to the top! Its a great trail though - steep, rocky, rooty and some tight corners too. Ahh Squampton! I'll be back. Thanks for the ride guys :-)
