Not sure what the 3rd would be, in that case ... Tim: KY is definitely a possibility, in fact I almost set my goal to 3 because NC is a foregone conclusion and KY is very likely to happen, as well.

I still haven't got around to fitting proper tyres to my 29er. However, they cyclo-cross tyres i'm using are working brilliantly on these mixed terrain rides. (Fire-road / tarmac / none rocky singletrack). Thankfully it rarely gets cold enough here (England) to freeze a lake thick enough to let you ride on it.

I wouldn't expect anything less from ya :) BTW. I have the same shox on my (er...) my daughter's Cannondale F-6. Peace :) Great photos of the sunset! I wouldn’t expect anything less from ya :)

I'm very paranoid about ice; you're right about the lack of uniformity when freezing. If you go again, please do it before things warm up - one day of bright sun and temps even in the 20s will start to work on melting the ice in certain spots. And, of course, I'll do what I can to provide you with a little company once I return to town...and once it warms up a little bit. Great recount of the ride, and beautiful pics. I've used cross country skis on that entire "no outlet" road, and it's about perfect for that sport, too. Enjoy!

There were many fantastic images, but the bicycle was clearly proud to be out in the woods. Loved the sunset bicycle portrait.

It's more than a little scary to think of breaking through, especially when you're alone. (Plus, I wouldn't want to lose the bike!) Enjoyed the pics!
