Rode on snow mobile trails for 6 hours. This bike rides well on these trails. I never flew off the bike once which is a good indication my tires were hooking up. I did slide out sometimes but stayed on my feet. Towards the end I was running out of gas. Saw lots of snow mobiles. This time of year I consider this place their trail. I am a guest. I pull over so they can ride through. I wave at each one. They all wave back, we have a mutual respect that we are both out here. I try to keep up a good relationship. Without them knocking down a path, I wouldn't be able to ride out here.
For the Triple D racers, the trail remains in great shape. Lots of snow mobile action keeping the additional snow well packed.
Temps were from 9 to 14 F. I was never cold at all. I took inventory of my clothing. 3 of my long sleeve upper body wear is Merino Wool which works great for wicking sweat. Zippers add a great heat control method and my last 4 layers have zippers.

Laundry in the living room? Birgit, you are a saint.
SHHHH!!!!! Dawn. Pulease, Don't ruin it for me. Oh did I mention the bike is leaning against the dining room table?
You guys had sun. Nice!
I barely made it for 3 hours today. 6! You're an animal.
Now I know how you dress for the cold, just put on everything in the closet. Six hours in those conditions, "You da Man", did you "Stop"
Oh Hi Mr. Bill, I sure do stop. Nature calls, my water bottles are usually frozen so I need to unscrew to take drinks, I chatted with some CC skiers, sometimes up to 10 snow mobiles go by, it's single lane only so I stop and let them go by one by one. Food breaks, Picture shoots, It's slo-mo.
