Well I met RJ and Mike MLV at Stonehedges Golf course in Groton around 9:30. We headed north and rode up through Moravia and over to LAke Como for lunch. RJ headed back after this and after a couple beers Mike and I headed back towards home but looped around towards Virgil and Dryden.
The morning was nice and cool with clear skies. Right around lunch time it started getting dark then we had almost white out snow. Once we headed back out the snow turned to sleet and freezing rain. Then before we knew it, it was pretty much pouring rain.
We managed to get a little over 70 miles in once we made it back to the trucks. The trails for the most part were actually great. They had been mostly groomed and there was a lot of traffic out there. The trails above Moravia were awesome. We came across some lost riders and MLV helped them out and they followed us. They weren't even close to where they thought they were.
I took some pics and you can see the snow in a few but then you can't see the rain but I got a few close-ups of my sled and helmet to see how wet we were. My hands were pruned and I was soaked inside and out.
And to top it off..... there was an accident just above Richford on my way home that had me stopped for a half hour. In the last pic you can see the car upside down in the ditch behind the lady with the stop sign!
