Today, Nate and I rode the Chubb Trail in the snow. We started from the West Tyson end and biked up to the picnic trail. The trail was wet, snowy, and fun. The woods were beautiful with their dusting of snow. The descent from the picnic table to the Steps was the snowiest with the trail being on a north facing slope. When we got to the Steps, Nate got off his bike and looked at it. He decided to ride it, and he was sucessful on his first try. The rest of the trail to the river was fast and snowy. We rode the low-water route and returned on the high-water route. Nate tried to bunnyhop an eight inch high log, but he didn't hop high enough. The climb back to the picnic table was slippery and steep, but it did warm up our cold fingers and toes a little. We descended the Flint Quarry back to the car.
