Hole in the Ground Mtn Bkie

Here it is, December 13th, and 2 days ago Greg and I went up to Donner Summit to MOUNTAIN BIKE!! What's with that? To add to the craziness, we parked in the Boreal Ski Area parking lot and watched (mainly) boarders head to the "slopes" which were just a strip of man-made snow. Well, the ride was GREAT! We had a little snow on climb up to the top of Andesite Peak and just a bit more on the descent. Then we had great conditions with no dust and minimal mud. It warmed up nicely, but the trail was still frozen in most places giving us a great surface to ride on. We did hit enough snow that we had to walk a bit after the first lake, but the walking was never too far. It was a great ride, but I hope it's the last Tahoe ride of the season. In fact it snowed a little bit last night and more is on the way (so "they" say).
