Forecast called for a little bit of snow and wet rain, Nothing too crazy.
My friend convinced me to do a short 20 mile ride out to a pretty cool camping spot with done before.
we meet up and the ride to the spot was pretty chill BUT the forecast kept on getting pushed back and by the time we actually got to the campsite we were not expecting any snow at all. set everything up and start cooking my friends homemade MREs. I accidentally destroy my old pan (it was not good to begin with) after we have everything set up, we fell asleep pretty quick.
I wake up at 4:00 AM with my back a little wet, took me a second to realize that there was snow pushing up against the side of the tent. My friend end up waking up about 10 minutes later and we open up the tent to see SO MUCH SNOW!! And it was still coming down heavy.
We each ended up having 2 or 3 cups of coffee each that you must be warm than energy to pack everything up completely extinguished the fire and get home.
The following ride ended up being the most difficult ride of the year, I had a fat bike, but it was way too warm and the snow was way too soft so I ended up sinking down more than I expected even at super low tire pressure. What normally was a 40 minute ride ended up taking 4 1/2 hours. It was miserable, but like the fun kind.
I wish I got more footage, but my phone battery was not completely charged to begin with
Would I do it again? Hell, yeah
First time camping in the cold!!
