Same plan as last Sunday.* Meet at Buds Bar in Sedalia for lunch at 11:00 and head out after that.* The ride this time will go through Sprucewood, Deckers, Wellington Lake, and back to Buffalo Creek. Conditions last week were perfect until we entered the trees on the forest road, then there were ice and snow patches. I expect conditions to be the same this week.

I'd be more interested in something like this than the "hooligan" ride. Decisions decisions...

Let me know how it was to push your sumo through a few miles of snow then.

Mud isnt so bad if you are heading downhill on Powerline. :)

So, this looks like it will be a girls ride?

I'm not going so it has a chance of being a sausage gathering.

I am not going to say it will be OK all the way for you tarded folks. I still remember last year....

And remember, clocks go forward 1 hour Saturday night!

Just got the ride report from the area we are going to tomorrow. Looks like all if the main roads are clear. Once we hit the forest road it is going to be mud, ice, and probably snow.

If you don't want the tards to show up you could just say so. :)

You know I don't care, I'm usually the minority. I'm just saying if you don't mind possibly pushing your bike for a couple of miles, this is the ride for you!

It ended up 2 of us last weekend and it was a great ride. And you can't go wrong with Bud's burgers either...

I'm going to go ahead and make the call that's it's going to be crappy conditions on the dirt roads... It's probably going to be muddy mixed with snow and ice. Normally you can do this route in about 3 hours... Today I would plan on it taking longer.

Ride is still going as planned!!!!!!

Some things to think about:

Dress Warm (Layers)
Know your abilities (not a beginner ride)
Do I have the right bike (your call)
Is this something I can take pictures and brag about later (I think it's going to be)
