When it comes to snack foods which won’t freeze, I usually carry those little peanutbutter snack crackers (made by Keebler, among others), for salty goodness or fig bars for the sweet tooth. Fig bars get really stiff, but not so hard that you can’t bite them.

Bill: geez, that’s a long ride! Glad to know I wasn’t the only one getting out there this weekend. I agree, the HNF trails give you more of a sense of adventure than BCSP. We are lucky to have both nearby.

Great photos! Nebo/Hickory is about my favorite local spot – not as flowing as BCSP, but typically more of an adventure, especially during the winter. Rode Nebo, 20, 18, 4, 10, 12, 21, Nebo on Saturday – good to know you were sweeping on Sunday just in case my frozen carcass needed to be located!

Whoops, I meant to resolve the wet foot thing. My feet were cold after they got wet, but it was only about 30 minutes back to the car at that point, so no real problems there. If it’d happened earlier in the ride, I would have been worried.

What a beautiful ride, I really need to get my bike ready for riding.

Apparently no long term damage from the wet foot incident, eh? Seems like that would have taken a bit of joy out of the ride.
