A few weeks ago I picked up a 2007 Arctic Cat M1000. With the race season started, I haven't had a chance to ride it yet. I decided this was the time, I met up with Metzger after work on Tuesday and we headed for the hills.

| Ready to ride! |
Luckily, it's only an hour from my office to the nearest Snopark, so we
were riding with plenty of daylight. We spent all evening riding,
climbed to the top of Mt Margaret for a 360 degree view, went to the radio towers, found the
little camp shack and built a fire. We came back on the roads in the
dark. It was an amazing way to spend a random Tuesday night.

 |
| Seems legit! |
The shack is up there for public use and safety. It was a really fun place to rest and relax for a few minutes before heading back down to the truck.
 |
| Getting the fire going |
A note about the fire, it was actually pretty fun trying to get a fire started. I've built more campfires than I can count, but it was fun trying to build a fire on a whim and learn that if we needed to build one in an emergency situation, that we could survive.
 |
| Just enough room to hang out and warm up. |
 |
| The ride back home. |
I couldn't believe this was a normal "work" day. I ride bikes after work all the time, but doing something different like this was a great way to change up the program. So shut off
Netflix and go outside and do something!
Until next time, spin your legs or pin the throttle!
