up around observatory mesa. The forest service road off of kinlani (FR
518 I think) was awesome due to car tracks so I'll be heading out that
way tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up and ride.

for a bit and said that the conditions were decent out there, except
where a forest service truck drove and was lighting the controlled
burns.
Keep thinking that I'll get out and ride the snowmobile tracks around
Kendrick Park one of these days. Has anyone every done that?

Spandex - I have to plow for you because you pick crappy lines.
Woohoo, I need to get out soon. After seeing the Moonlander and
Benson's Salsa at Revolution yesterday, I am needing a phat phix.
Merry Christmas everyone,
Brian

So I ended up doing an out and back on A-1 Mountain road, coming back on the urban trail down on mars hill which was the most enjoyable part of the ride. There are 4 wheel drive tracks out on the mesa but as on Jan. 1 that road will be closed to motor vehicles. I'd be down to check out the snowmobile trails since I'm realizing that packed trails are necessary.

Awesome! The snowmobile tracks support you ok?
I am sure that moon lander doesn't worry about flotation.

still some dodgy spots. Nothing that was not rideable however. This
was on 794 and there is quite a bit of snowmobile traffic on that
road. Riding up from 180 may be quite a bit tougher until it gets a
bit more packed down. Still, I would not hesitate to try riding it
either direction.
Mike - we only walked in the areas on 151 where the snow had drifted
over the car tracks and we slid off on a bump or other undulation. In
total we walked about 100 feet maybe. The loop was closer to 12
miles. Maybe 13.
