Snow on Rattlesnake Mountain! I believe that might be a first for Sam’s Ride.

Great ride, and incredible views. This is a 2, but watch out for some sandy sections. My front tire got a bit squirrely on a couple of spots.

This was the final section of our Poker Run.

I’m unable to join the Sam’s Prairie Poker Run next weekend, so I went out earlier. It was busy out and very green.

I was slightly off in the location but within about 50 yards. The pinned location is a wide spot in the road. Where I took my photo is on a tennis-court-sized pull-out at the point of the road with a nice wide place to park and turn around (give me 40 acres and I’ll turn this Beemer around…..). Still, a pretty good view. From here back to the Blacks Creek pavement, there were numerous sandy sections on the nominally smooth hard-pack road. These sandy sections were just deep enough to get my attention. YMMV
