    Snow and 27 degrees... PERFECT! Had a real fun day yesterday. Met some new ride friends, had a nice blend of bikes and all very competent riders. Area was mostly tighter single track, about 27-32 degrees out and frozen ground. Keeps you on your game and focused that's for sure. Some places had hero traction and others were slick so you were always compensating. Moving average was 13.6 mph so actually pretty good for conditions. Bikes included YZ295, brand new 2016 Beta 300, WR165 kitted husky, GG300, KTM 300 6 days and I was the only 4 stroke with the Trail Tech Shop bike 2015 KTM 350. I usually ride our 2015 KTM300 shop bike but grabbed this one for today. It worked great. Super fun day with great people and good times. Most the group went home about 3pm and buddy Blake and I went out and hammered down 24 more miles and cruised in right at dark. The Trail Tech HID was awesome in these conditions and I find myself worrying less and less about the short days. This afforded us a spectacular view as the sun set. I love dirt bikes.

    Looks like just enough snow to make it fun! I've only ridden in snow a few times, but when it's too deep to see the ruts it can be exhausting.

    Nice. I went up to @ 4000' today for the first time since July and there was a dusting of snow on the shady side.

    Buddy Blake took it with a cell phone! Was memorizing in real life. We kept stopping and staring.
