Late Season Roundup 2020

It takes some imagination to optimize local cycling in the transitional seasons. Sometimes it turns out well, sometimes it doesn't. I had a great mountain bike ride today. I took a spill on an icy road ride yesterday.

The Fun Farm Bridge--Early November

We fought a real battle with with a tubeless tire just after the first snowfall at Harriman. Tony did most of the work. At the moment, there is too much snow to ride at Harriman until grooming begins and not enough snow to run the groomer.

The best cyclist in the family.

The Deer Park area, west of the Menan Buttes. The mysteriously suspended milk can was photographed near Roberts.

Local Thanksgiving Day ride near the Teton River.

The McNabb Ranch loop northeast of Pocatello--this excellent new mountain bike trail was designed for use by high school NICA racers with a single lap for younger rider and multiple laps for older riders.  

The seasonal closure of the Stinking Springs area has been delayed until December 15th due to low snow levels. Conditions were outstanding today on the lower (Sidewinder) portion, but muddy above the intersection with the Stinking Springs Trail.
