Clear and Cold for Moody Creek Fat Bike Ride

The quality of a fat bike ride generally corresponds pretty closely to the
quality of the conditions, so I feel pretty lucky today. I rode the Moody
Creek to Lyon Creek (Lyon, Lyons, Lyman, your choice) loop. Conditions were
especially good on the Moody Creek side with cold temperatures, a
consolidated base, and recent grooming. It was a little more chewed up on
the Lyon Creek side.

I am still not especially happy about the relocation of the parking area
which adds a long transition to the start and finish of any winter access to
the Moody. Even with good conditions, it requires a solid three hour effort
to ride the Moody to Lyon loop from the new parking area. In spite of
evidence of quite a bit of snowmobile traffic, I did not see or hear a
single person before, during, or after the ride.
