The announced activity for February 25th had been a hike in the Annursnac Hill area of Concord. On Monday morning, when Mother Nature started delivering snow, the proposed activity changed to snowshoeing. However, on Monday evening when the snow on the ground started being measured in feet instead of inches, the activity was changed to xc skiing at Great Brook Touring Center in Carlisle where participants could glide along groomed trails.
Snow continued to be in the air as Wednesday Wheelers encountered bad road conditions getting to Carlisle. Those who made the trip were rewarded with groomed trails, topped with a fresh coating of light snow. All participants agreed that the conditions for xc skiing were perfect. The group stayed together, skiing a trail that circumnavigates the park. The winter beauty of the woods, the perfect conditions of the trails, and the camaraderie of the group made for a memorable day.
Post-ski lunch was at Concord Market, on Lowell Road in Concord.
