Ride the best conditions... now
Early Spring is a great time to ride the trail! It's cooler, but the trail is generally dry and free-flowing (the benefit of free draining pumice). There is also nothing better than cosying up in front of a warm fire at night with your bubble buddies and sharing some kai and stories.
