I rode the same trail again today so my report may be boring but everything was covered in fresh snow so the ride wasn't.

1) trail - singletrack by my house (12 Mile Coulee)
2) ride time - about 1 hour and 30 minutes
3) distance - around 17km
4) weather - moderate NW wind, -4C, sunny with increasing cloud
5) trail conditions - all snow covered, fresh snow, barely any use prior to me, previously muddy sections were frozen
6) summary - stayed along the creek for this ride, had a lot of fun with the fresh snow, most of the crossings were frozen but some had thick ice on the edges and open water in the middle...that made things a little more interesting. The short, steep climbs when crossing the creek were tough in a few spots, it reinforced the fact that I need to pick up some studded tires, especially when the snow gets more packed/hardened from foot/bike traffic use.
