It was a St. George trip like none other. As we approached there was a blanket of white which we hoped would disappear. It did somewhat. We were advised by Lynda to try either Paradise or Church Rocks. We opted to start at Paradise. The trail was not bad at all; it was really pretty clear.

After Paradise, we headed to Church Rocks. The parking lot was pretty snowy, but once we got out on Propsector and headig towards Church Rocks it was not bad. We got a little turned around on the first lap, but that is par for the course--or trail if you would. We then did it in the opposite directions and were able to stay on the trail.

And no trip would be complete with out a trip to the LBS (local bike shop). We tend to like Red Rock Bicycle because Doug Rock works there. Chris needed to bleed his brakes because they kept fading on him.

We then hit Barrel Roll. As we were throwing our bikes together Chris realized his brake problems were not over. While he did find quite a bit of air while he bled them. It appears to be leaking some too. He was going to sit this one out.

And more snow on the trail

Not all of Barrel Roll was ridable. There was some hiking though ankle deep snow. It was not that cold when I left the car so I did not have my booties. After hiking, riding, hiking, riding, and hiking and riding some more my feet were wet and cold. We did not ride as much as I would have hoped, but at least there was some riding. And while the weather was chilly, it was not necessarily cold which was very nice.
