Chasing the snow

Today, I tried to ride the AT up to Loch Lomond. Like....it's the middle of May. You'd think that, at some point, the snow would start to melt. But apparently not. Every day is like Groundhog Day. I go out, ride until I get my tires in enough snow that it scares me, turn back, return home, wash rinse repeat.

Like...at this point, no passes are open, really. Like....Guanella Pass (Closed), Trail Ridge Road (Closed), Independence Pass (Closed), Mt Evans (Closed), .Jones Pass (Closed).

Today, when I got up close to Loch Lomond, I found an SUV stuck in the snow, and eventually I got to where the road was snowed completely over. And, above 10,000', it was snowing pretty hard. I'm wearing ski gloves and my hands are so cold I think I'll lose them.
