Frozen High Tide Waters!

Town: East Lyme , CT
Location: Rocky Neck State Park
Trail(s) Ridden: all over
How did you use the trail: Mountain Biking
What was the time of day:10:00am
Duration (Hours): 2
Distance (Miles): 6+
Condition of Trails(s): Good, far better than expected after all the rain and weather.
Observations: few icy patches here and there. Not anywhere near as many as I was expecting. Most are at the bottom of hills so watch your speed! Leaves are starting to brake up a bit so it's a lot nicer to ride now. A few trails have been raked or blown off too as you get closer to the pavilion! Very nice to ride! :)

Watch out in the lower, tidal areas because the high tide came in before the cold and the ice is everywhere!!
