I came across this image by Neverness in the Bike198 Flickr group and it showed exactly the riding we are dealing with in the southeast US right now. As winter transitions into spring, we finally get the warm weather riding we have been waiting on. Typically, this is met with some wet trails as the forest recuperates from the winter freeze and the rains hydrate plate life.
As we are all stoked to get out riding in a couple of the prime days of the year (cool air, sunny skys and low humidity), we have to make our trail choices carefully to watch for muddy conditions. Finally…spring has sprung and it is time to get back into the season of shredding.
