Today's ride was everything a great mountain-bike ride should be: I started alone, then found and rode fun trails I hadn't even known existed; I ran into several friends and shared various parts of the ride with them until we all peeled off to go our separate ways; and then I pedaled, exhausted, back to my car.
It doesn't get any better than that. Unless you count the perfect, sunny weather; a good pre-ride meal and trail snacks that kept my energy level high; and having no time constraints because my wife and daughter were busy without me. I went out to ride two hours, but stayed for three and a half because I was having too much fun to stop.
March riding is always the best of the winter season, and some of the best of the entire year.
But today, it was freakin' sublime.

Absolutely correct! Get it in now before it is all swamp!
The photo is awesome. It looks like it should be on a winter cycling calendar.
