Despite wanting to ride I wasn't very motivated. Overcast skies, NE wind, coolish temperatures, and a chance of rain had me shaking my head! But, per usual, an hour in and all had changed!
I was on the Seven Evergreen again but rode a bit more pavement at the start to get to different gravel. I did a lot of riding in Milacs and Morrison County...both are great for gravel. It's interesting how different counties can have distinctively different gravel.
Nearing the time when I thought I should turn around and head for home it started to sprinkle. It eventually did turn into a rain but nothing too serious. It did prompt me to make a stop in Buchmann for some coffee.
I made good time on the way home with the tail wind. I managed to find a couple minimum maintenance roads too...the Seven was perfect. I love that bike more and more every time I ride it.
I ended with almost 7.5 hours and 115 miles. I have some friends riding out in GA now. They did a 100 mile ride and climbed over 12,000 feet...I got a tad over 2000...ha!
I hope to get out this afternoon for a small ride. NW winds, with gust up to 25 mph, are predicted. Man Spring wind...blah.
I work the weekend so it's early mornings if I can make myself get up! Just 7 more hours to get to 14.
Happy Weekend.
