A rare confluence of events meant that I had a few hours without any obligations during a warm spell in January!! Being that several days previous had also been warm I took the chance that the streets and paths would be mostly ice free and I was mostly correct!<\/p>\n

It was a 40 degree day and I dropped the kids off at a birthday party and had 3 hours until I needed to return. I took the opportunity to ride to St. Paul and actually ended up doing some routes I had never been on.\u00a0 Minnehaha Creek was the worst shape ice-wise that I rode on (though I skipped parts of the Lillydale trails).\u00a0 And a little section in St. Paul was rough, but overall it was easy riding.\u00a0 One thing I realized too late was that I was riding out with a tail wind which meant, yes a head wind on the way back when I was starting to feel my overall lack of riding! And feeling squats from the other day!<\/p>\n

I saw a decent amount of riders out on a mixture of fat bikes, road bikes, and cyclo-cross bikes like me! In St. Paul I got to ride on the end of the Polar Dash race’s closed roads which was pretty nice.<\/p>\n

All in all a great ride.\u00a0 I stayed mostly warm, I wished I had my foot covers as one foot got a little wet and didn’t stay warm then!<\/p>\n

Totals were 26 miles in 2:22.<\/p>\n
