Yesterday was my first time back in the Husker state since the Steeplechase Death March. The roads were perfectly dry and solid. A strong and steady NW wind provided good resistance. It was odd going 30+ mph (with the wind's help) on roads that would have been a quagmire 3 weeks ago.
I even got to practice my tire changing skills courtesy of a errant thorn. Love the CO2!
I continue to imagine routes for next spring and despite the horrors of the October 8th ride, I still want to throw at least one mile of MMR into the mix. But just one. Two at the most. Still awaiting the long-awaited opening of the Meridian Bridge because I want to make that part of the route too.
With the promise of winter just around the corner I'm experiencing bike lust again...perhaps a Salsa Vaya? A Dos 9er? Christmas will be here before we know it...
