When it gets difficult it's been a long time since it was "snow" - now it's more like crusty ice or frozen slush with deep tire ruts in it. > Me, I hope we get some snow this year -- the last two or three have > been very dry.

A couple of years ago a friend of mine riding on the W&OD Trail thought no problem, there are the tracks across the bridge, where one bike has gone another may easily follow, but those tracks were ridges of ice and she skidded out, crashed into the guard rail, and broke her arm in two places, one a compound fracture. Spent some time unconscious on the frozen bridge, too. You may not fall over on a trike, but you sure can spin out or roll over. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
