Well, we got out camping this weekend. And it turned out great, but not without some twists. More on that elsewhere. As far as biking goes, we pushed our bikes through roads that were surprisingly not just "a little snowy still," but "whoa god, completely packed with several feet of firm slush." We had intented to drive past this, but got the old 4runner stuck the night before for 45 mins (and the old girl don't stick easy). So explored by foot.
Eventually we ditched the bikes, walked, then walked back to them. Later, when it was time to leave, the wife let me bomb down the long gravel descent while she drove and picked me up. I raced down this so delightfully (but controllably) fast.
Then later, exploring up other mountain roads, we were again thwarted by snow at the last few miles. And lo and behold, I found myself atop a tallllll gravel road with a full suspension mtb in my hands... and the wife sent me down another one. This time, faster and longer. This one was 1,400 ft of drop in a little over 4 miles.
And just for you all, I took a bike shot at the campsite. The view was amazing.
