It snowed about an inch over-night, and I woke up to the beautiful scenery below. I was quite excited while putting on all my gear and checking over the Ural.
I love riding in snow! Its similar to riding in dirt or mud, but it’s everywhere. You’re not stuck to a trail an hour away; the fun is literally just outside your door. Of course, the cars will try to ruin your fun, so I recommend taking the back back roads.
After a few minutes of riding, I started to get warm. I saw the temp was at 27F! I didn’t miss my electric gloves at all and the vest was off. I was much too warm by the time I parked the Ural, and just stood outside for a few minutes with my helmet off and coat unzipped. By the time I left work, it was 30F and there were some large puddles of water begging to be ridden through. I had to oblige.
Here is a shot of the typical roads I like to take in the snow.
Yes, another shot of the Ural at a lake. We have thousands of them in Minnesota.
