Snow Melt at Center

Got to the Center Trails a little before noon today. I couldn't get up early enough for Squirrels Bacon Ride. Anyway, it was quite nice for January in Iowa. The snow was getting a little bit slushy.
I rode J-11 and Denmans. I planned on ridding Squirrels Nest and Monkey Pit, but there was no broken trail. There were about 50 different sets of tire tracks, but no two of them rode the same line. With the snow getting softer by the minute, I decided to take the trestle to the Black Label and head to visit my mug at Court Avenue Brewing. Mike has a very good Abbey on Reserve and the specialty is the Winter Ale. Tomorrow is the first Roller Race of the season, at Valley West Mall.

Christmas Evening. Rode the Center trails this morning. The trails were pretty good, considering they are covered in snow. Conditions would have probably been better if it were about 10 degrees colder. I am not complaining, as i rode in tights and a long sleeved t-shirt. Sweet. The trails weren't fast, but they weren't slick either. Enough people had ridden J-11 and Denmans to create a decent packed trail.

I have ridden more snow this year than in my entire life. I believe that the tails have been covered with snow every weekend for the last month. I have been riding my 29er with a 32 x 20. While the 2.3" ExiWolf tires work pretty well, I wonder if there is something better?
