heading out for a winter MTB ride....



yep it's cold out...



almost to the single track...



nice scenery on my way to the mountain trails...



starting the climb..






my secret trail, barely visible, especially with the snow, just the way i like it :D



decided to take a self shot with my MTB...getting in a ride before work!



part of the Secret Trail...getting fresh "first" tracks.



definitely a beautiful day, despite the cold.



the secret trail does have some nice single track, kind of a short downhill, but sure to get your adrenalin going...some areas where you can let it fly, and some slow technical sections that can be quite sketchy.



that is it! Goodbye, it's the end of the ride.

stay tuned for NYE and the beginning of 2010.

Ciao, Ciao....
