North of 78 ride ideas today/tomorrow?

[KenS]

I am headed north today and tomorrow and expect some ride time allowance. Most likely tomorrow (Tues) morning. Any thoughts on which bike to take along and where would be the least amount of ice? (Cross, Scalpel or fatty)

I'm thinking Scalpel and Dickerson or Mahlon but open to ideas. I'll be travelling between Sparta and Oxford.

Hi Ken!!!

bring studded tires

I have been out hiking up here in the North quite a bit. Everything in the North is a mess. Northern exposure areas are icy and southern exposure areas are soft. Bring hiking shoes and micro-spikes.

the wind will have dried most of rv towards cush - but that is south of 78.....

i'd also bet that there is some serious clean-up to be done. could you swing through wildcat and do some tm to save us time on friday

Like everywhere else. Mostly still ice and frozen ground on this side of the mt. and it's facing west so I would expect it to be in better shape then the east side. The fireroads are rivers. Not a lot of fun. Ice under leaves, you get the pic.

I'm camped out in Mt. Olive so might take a look at one of the mooch parks tomorrow. Currently 23f so at least everything will be solid. I should have brought the fatty. Thanks for the replies everyone.

report back what you find Ken, but I rode my CX bike thru the randolph trails sunday and they were covered in ice still.

North is mostly great. Some ice to walk on white, some magic snow around, some totally clear.

Live action on lumpy bumpy

Judging by that route, yes yes you do, lol.
Though you didnt need rescue so that's a plus. I loath the days before GPSing, they truly were adventures.

Believe it or not, that was my planned route. Anyplace I did a short out and back was to ride magic snow or turn around at mega ice. The goal was to ride from the hotel to lumpy bumpy then take the fastest way back.
