Monday afternoon, before a gymnastics meet, I got out for a short spin. With the new snow a bunch of the trails I "mess" around on aren't ready yet so I headed for the North Loop. The sport loop was good but still a bit soft. However, it wasn't till Maxx's Option that I had to air down and work harder than I wanted to.
Trail in the Sport Loop.
Maxx's Option hadn't seen as much snowshoe or bike action so it was much harder going. I did make my way over to Friedrich as well. The sections Jen and I packed in were riding pretty well. The side trails and such still need work.
Tuesday was almost the same ride, minus Maxx's Option. Plus I road in the morning. It was pretty cool, -5 at the start. Colder temps provide better traction so climbing any hill was much easier than the prior day.
Speaking of temperatures we are coming into a warm up, and a pretty big one at that.
Warmup coming!
Even International Falls, the start of the Arrowhead, will be in the 30's come race day. Should make for interesting conditions!
Yesterday I cleaned up the Salsa Mukluk and put on the "race" wheels: Onyx Hubs and Hed carbon rims. Jim at Onyx nailed the color!
Oooo...
Ahhh...
I'll start packing for the Arrowhead Saturday morning, the day we head North. I did buy some food stuff last night and made another batch of Benny Balls.
No riding today and PT this morning.
Happy Hump Day.
