Trails are looking good

Some water is still overflowing the concrete ford on the greenway. Since there has not been any recent rain it must be because the culverts under it are clogged. On the trail, watch for ruts on the big dirt hill and on the hill beside the water fountain.

Since there are no leaves on trees, you get high visibility through turns and great views of the lake and the city skyline.

First trail ride of the year

I did a 10 mile local street ride Sunday, first ride of the new year, and everything still works, on me and the bike.

Today, I did an 18 mile Salem Creek Greenway and Salem Like Trail Ride. The greenway is clear. There is mud under the Reynolds Park Road Bridge underpasses as usual. The concrete ford had some overflow but it is not a problem. The trail is in good shape. Most of the ruts on the eastern side of the big hill on the southern side of the lake have filled in (from trail traffic, certainly not because of any park maintenance). There are remains of several large fallen trees on the northern side of the lake. Also, there is the usual mud on the side of two curves.

Nice day for a ride. A little windy, but still nice. There was not much trail traffic but the wrong side of the trail walkers were still out in full force.

Still too cold!

It's still too cold for me to ride but there should be some warm days toward the end of next month. I'll be ready to ride when they come!

Still Winter!

It's still winter and I'm still not a winter rider, so I haven't been riding since my last update. I'm on my winter fitness schedule that consists of four or more hours per week of fitness training classes (Body Combat, BodyFlow, and CXWorx), weight lifting, and rowing and stair machines.
