Springtime In The Rockies

This is basically what my ride looked like today.

This was the first time this year I was able to make it from Russel Gulch/Nevadaville to York Gulch. I've turned back many times this year due to snow, flooded road sections, etc. But this time, I made it from Bald Mountain Cemetery, up Bald Mountain Lane to York Gulch. Then, down to Fall River Road, and up to Rainbow Road. I made it up Rainbow Road very near to Fall River Reservoir, where the road was blocked by snow, and it started to snow, and hail, and rain. Suddenly, I wished I was smart enough to check the forecast before I left the house. Riding down a muddy dirt road when it's raining and hailing on you makes you question your sanity. Springtime in the Rockies. Somehow, I made it back home and beat the storm home, for the most part.
