Buster Creek trail was a bust.
I rode from town to where the trail begins and rapidly realized the single digit temps have done little to freeze up overflow, marsh and the river.

I also forgot that these creeks are fed by springs not easily frozen. It was a delicate bushwack the first 3 miles without overboots to get to higher ground where I thought the trail would be hard packed.

Not exactly riding but eventually I was able to ride the ridgeline and peak over into the Flambeaux valley- my initial destination.
A little too early in the season and a little ambitious but still a solid 5 hour ride/drudge & 30 miles according to my bike computer by the time I got home.
