The ride today was a workout going down Furnace road. Trees down and icy snow.

Today will be my last ride of the contest, I’m a weekday warrior, riding before work, weekends are for the kids. I apologize, this is my first contribution to the thread. Never felt I had any interesting pics to share.
First off, thank you Rob for keeping this tradition alive, this is my 2nd year and it really does get my lazy ass outside a lot more then I would ride normally. (That and I refuse to buy a trainer, but that is another topic).
Today was Huber/Hartshorne which still feels like a destination park, even after riding it 100 times (I used to live there). Now my home park is allaire which is equally great but for different reasons.
Thank you to everyone who contributed. I really got a glimpse of what winter riding is like in NNJ, which seemed to receive a lot more snow this winter compared to the shore. Last winter, I think we were near equal in snowfall......so with that, here are couple of pics from today

@Kaleidopete I encountered that same tree today. So here’s my pic of the same carnage...and a couple others of non-carnage.

That was a beast ride; I was checkin' it out on strava before. 2 parks, all the good stuff, both ways, and then some. Nice.

Thanks, the local scene at Hart and Allaire is definitely high energy. Hopefully the effort spills over to the couple of H2H races I plan on trying this year. Still a newbie at that.

The Groundhog is ready for Spring, just like me!

Went up to Stewart SF this morning. A lot of stop and go to pluck branches off the trail. Its a wide variety from a few inches of crunchy snow in some spots, and dirt showing through in others. It seems strange to see this brown line developing in the snow. The dirt (and snow) was nice and frozen in the early hours.

First day that I was cleared to ride.
It was exactly as enjoyable as I suspected it would be ( no fun at all ) thankfully a flat 30 mile road ride.
On the upside I increased my six month total ride count by 20%. Now I launch my BIYF last minute offensive. I might need tomorrow to be a BIG day!!

I thought it looked weird at first, too. Then I realized the person is in the process of removing the wheel.
