    Went for a short ride up to Ginger Creek. Last corner before staging area met two Dudes who had been there and done that. Dang, I hate being third. Unloaded and took off till I ran out of tracks in the snow. Now the FUN begins, with a 450 you've got almost enough powder to do some serious power sliding. There's nothing like fresh powdered snow. Got wet from all the snow and headed back to the TaHoe. Rode 17 miles. Headed toward home and ran across two RETARDS stuck in 12"-14" 's of snow with cars. NO SNOW TIRES- NO CHAINS= NO BRAINS. I believe in Karma, what comes around, goes around. Otherwise I'd laugh at them and leave em. CROWS got to eat too. G IMG_1419.JPG IMG_1421.JPG ot my batteries recharged. Got to love Oregon in the winter. Not as good as Upstate New York, but then it's not as cold and not as much a snow. My old home town Bernhards Bay 300 " 's and counting. Gramps

    Man you got it worse than me. I'm waiting the snow out. Just checked the cams out and looks like the snow at Diamond Mill is starting to melt away. Come on 45 and rain.

    Ahh, come on Kelly. It's only snow. I always go riding when it snows, because it's fun and I don't have to wash the bike. LOLO Gramps

    When have you ever washed a bike Gramps? I've never seen any evidence of it if you have? Do you mean hauling a bike when it's rainin? :D

    I thought it snowed all the time in Sydney. The weather in the world is turned upside down. Gramps

    I've done a few pure snow rides before in WA, GPNF ... They can be cool and the views in the woods with all the snow can be second to none and unique ...ESP when the melt starts and the creeks fill-up ...
