I am honored to have several friends who are Veterans and or currently serving in the Armed Forces.  We planned on hitting the Klamath Ridge View Trail once again today not knowing we would wake up to temperatures in the teens and a skiff of snow.  Never one to let a little cold stop us we decided to ride anyhow.  :-)  At the start it was a brisk 32 F but had not started to snow yet.

Mike making his way around the brush piles along the trail.

We stopped at a tight spot in the trail that has a great view.

 

I finally got the guys to stand still long enough for a group shot. :-)

This trail never gets old....even in the cold. Looking back toward town.

 

Dave two months out from a Kidney Transplant.....doing great, this is not an easy trail espically with snow and mud!!!

She has a few miles on her but still a solid ride.

We dropped down to the road and took it back, cold air hell on the lungs.  Dave with some mud chunks, not the best day to wear white.

 

I am very thankful that I can get out and ride, even in these conditions.  I have a solid group of friends that push me often.  Sense my RNY I am actually able to push these guys and not just lag behind....they are playing catchup at times which is great.

Until next time.

I had to add a rare picture with me in it. :)

Looking down the trail to come.

We are so fortunate to live in the land of the free BECAUSE of the brave.  I am so thankful for the sacrifices that our Veterans and their families make so that I and my family can enjoy the freedoms of this great country. 

Thanks for sharing the awesome views.  Fall foliage is now at its height here in Middle Georgia.  So, I really enjoy biking the nature trails.  No snow too!
