Comments
Comments: Great day to be out but only saw two other bikers all day. Trail is easy to follow but was drifted in places and had to be rebroken. Only 2-6 inches on top of packed snow. Beautiful open woods down low but extremely windy all day. Signal Ridge was awesome even though we hit gusts of 60 plus. A couple of blow downs to jump over or duck under but otherwise in very good shape. Snowshoes recommened, saw someone barebooted but there were a lot of postholes....stick with the shoes. Not as bad a 14 miler as I thought it was going to be. great to meet up with Wildpeaks and CB for this one
