I was hopping that when I get at a higher altitude the trail will be dryer but I was wrong. The bike was all over the place so instead of a fast fun ride that I expected it turned out to be a vary hard and technical ride. If I was riding on trail it was so hard that my muscles were on fire, if I was riding beside the trail there were a lot of holes and branches on the ground. The mud was sticking to my bike, so I stopped to clean it a bit and to take some pics.
The forest had a rotten wood smell and I thought that spring is far far away, but I was wrong once more. Going deeper in the forest I saw a lot of flower everywhere.
This is the Dog tooth lily (Erythronium dens-canis - I had to look it up on Wikipedia :P). On the margins of the forest there was some snow left.
On the way home I passed a bone field, somebody or something had a feast here :)
This is how the bike looked when I got home:
I tried to draw the map of this ride on bikemap, the forest part of this map is not so accurate :)
