I spent the afternoon driving around, looking for enough snow to go and play on cross country skis. After aborting and deciding to go home and drink tea instead, I spent the drive home wishing I’d brought my bike instead. Summer seems a long way away just now but we are in that transition between snowy and clear trails, everything is a bit, well, manky. There is more snow on the way so the trails will remain hidden for a while to come, so here are a few photos to keep the backcountry bike love alive!
