Siegster, you'd be proud of me! Yesterday was the first time on the Katoom in almost two years (with the exception of a dual sport ride this summer) and we went to Stoneyford. My club canceled the ride due to the unusual amount of snow (base is at 1700 feet). So they loaded up the rigs and left about 12ish..

Me and my two buddies i went up with, "wintered" up and rode. Started climbing & riding (actually skiing on two wheels) got pretty far as the snow was a very dry snow and we had quite a bit of traction. Never been so sore from only running nine miles. Two hours, till a flat and bent rim took one of my buddies bikes out (probably a rock/boulder under the snow)

We hit 18" of snow at one or two times riding, but man was it fun!

But ya, "baby its cold outside"....hanging lights today....

We got snow in the upper elevations of El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park got a couple inches where my rental is at. The boys and I watched the snow come down as we painted the interior of my rental in Cameron Park. Last time we saw snow in El Dorado Hills was a couple years ago.

lol, I wish it would get that warm here. It's been single digits and barely in the teens the last couple days here. Today I saw the sun again and the white stuff started disappearing. Should start creeping back up to normal. Working outside in this single digit stuff is brutal when the wind blows.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
