Not the Wednesday morning (before work at noon) ride I was anticipating in April. I think we officially got another 7" of snow Tuesday, yuck. But it's hard to complain as I am a snow lover and it is the best snow we've had in many years. Why not in December?!!
I got word that Plum Creek and the River Bluffs were groomed so I figured I'd take the fat bike and go check it out. It was pretty dang fun I have to admit. The loop I like to do around a field wasn't groomed so I thought I'd give it a go. That was a lot of spinning, letting more and more air out, post holing, and searching for more gears...so deep!
Back on the pavement I pumped the tires back up and spun around some on urban trails. Despite being in the teens the sun had the roads a sloppy mess already. Bring on the melt.
2.5 hours on the day.
Currently it's 2 degrees! Once the sun breaks the horizon the temps are to climb to about freezing. I'm off and planning on heading South. That's all I know. Time and distance will come. I'll check out the gravel but pretty sure it will be icy then messy.
Guess what! More snow on Sunday!
