3rd annual Fellowship ride...solid 8 out of 10 on the trails.  We started our traditional ride at the Acworth General store with a solid breakfast.  I decided to try a reverse route up corridor 5 all the way up to Lebanon then connect to corridor 2, head east then south onto 394 back towards Newport and looping back through gpshen and lempster to the homestead.

 Trails were regroomed for the majority of the ride, 5 was awesome all the way to Lebanon.  We refueled in Enfield and the snow really started coming down.  We took a few breaks...the best being a hotdog break hot off the muffler cooker...have to say...they were perfect and yummy.

 

We kicked it up a notch and pushed our way back only to stop in newport where the famous ski jump is.  The old timers used to jump off this sucker in the summertime utilizing pine needles!

 

After some fun, we were on our way through Pillsbury where the snow was flying as well as one of our riders...maybe a little fatigue and snow blindness caused a slight miscalculation and he was off the trail...another separate solo rider assisted him in getting back on the trail while we waited a Mile or so up the trail, just about ready to turn around and do a search.

 

Another 15 or so sweet miles through Pillsbury and local trails and we where home...just a click over 150 miles of great riding.
