We enjoy the downhill parallel slalom racing where two cyclists descend parallel tracks slaloming between flags like skiers. Crashes are spectacular as some of these photos show. These events work well for improving our bike handling skills. Anyone can jump onto pallets in the summer. The ice adds new challenges and requires new skills.
Snow makes for safe landings in some of our more adventurous downhill runs.
As you can see from the pictures, we often need a soft landing. He wasn't hurt, due to soft snow landing. No Dirt, well, not much anyway. The dogs are slower and don't bark as loudly If your V brakes work poorly you have a perfect excuse to upgrade to disk brakes - unless the wife decides she needs a new coat. These are images that I transferred from my video camera.
