Youbou Ride - Cottonwood Main

[stratus]

So Mudectomy and I decided to head out to Youbou for a leisurely ride up the Cottonwood Main. The ride started out a little rough. It appears Mud's bike can throw up some hefty stones. This is what an egg-sized rock will do to you at 60 km/hr, despite helmets and goggles properly in place.

Altitude was not helping things today. It appears there was a little dusting out in the hills last night.

Fortunately, Mud had kindly provided me with a new back tire. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made it this far.

Despite the novelty of the fresh powder, we took a few shots then headed back down the hill.

This was a mere 10 minutes away from the previous photo. Check out the snow line across the valley.

Snow or no snow, any day out riding is a good day.

I'll remember to keep my distance from the business end of the WR from now on.
