Mega-Blizzard 2.0

Well, I thought I'd post a Pantani ride update before Mega-Blizzard 2.0 sets in and the world as we know it all goes black. Or white, I guess. It's been a rough winter so far. And with a forecasted 20" - 28" of the heavy white stuff blowing in this weekend, there is some question about the Pantani ride being rescheduled.

Last I heard, brokenback and simmons gap were both a sheet of ice. With the storm we're having this weekend, more potential snow on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then a week of 30 degree temps before the Pantani ride, it seems inevitable that most of our route will be snow-covered, sketchy, and outright dangerous by Sunday. Moreover, singletrack options are even less likely - the farm here had just about melted out by this morning, but that dirt is now gone baby gone. See you in March, Dirt.

But reschedule? No way. Pantani day is February 14th. Something painful will go down that day, at 10 AM, starting from here on the farm. Could be anything.

So fight off the despair a bit longer. Avoid secluded hotel rooms and lots of alone time. Check back for details as the day draws near. The details will make themselves clear.

Up Up Up.
