Oh did it feel great to hope on the bike yesterday and get 23 miles in with friends. \u00a0We are all doing the Almanzo 100 together and it seems we are all a little behind in our training!! Yesterday’s 60 degree weather brought everyone outside and there were traffic jams along all of the trails we rode – especially downtown and in Uptown!<\/p>\n

The trails were mostly dry with some wet areas, some standing puddles, and at least one spot which was almost all ice. There is still plenty of snow on the shaded side of the Greenway, under bridges, and other “dark” spots. \u00a0My Trek and I were happy to get a little muddy! Whenever we had to switch into single-file riding you’d get a little bit of spray – I had to wipe my classes off a few times!<\/p>\n

It was hard to know what to wear. \u00a060 degrees is a good temperature, but all the snow around can make the air feel colder. \u00a0In the end I wore a pair of bib shorts, booties over my shoes (which came in handier for the water than the cold), my long sleeve Icebreakrz 200, under my World Vision<\/a> cycling jersey, padded gloves, under my running gloves, with my Hennepin Bridge cycle hat. \u00a0I think I was pretty well dressed – didn’t really get super sweaty and didn’t ever feel cold. \u00a0My knees did get a little chilly!<\/p>\n

I forgot to mention that in the morning we rode our bikes to church and took Caleb for his first ride in the Chariot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
