For November 7th this was some pretty darned nice weather to ride in. With the Packers playing Sunday night that meant the stars were lined up for me to get back on my bike for the first time in a while. The 2010 season isn't quite done yet.
You what else isn't done yet?
The construction in the Root River Parkway. These guys should be ashamed! I've never seen a road project that took so long to complete. This thing has been torn up for most of the summer, and neither the bridge to Loomis nor the road to Whitnall Park are open yet.
So I rode the detours and did a lap at Botanical. Just 25 miles, but you have to start somewhere. Looks like it will be even warmer on Monday and Tuesday, so if my schedule permits I'll get out there both days.
Everyone and his uncle was out there today, from walkers and riders to families working in their yards. This mild start to November is a blessing. Lets hope the forecast is right for this week.
Season Miles: 2,729
Ah geez, good thing I didn't have any designs on heading up that way (OLT/RR on either side of 76th). Some of these road projects seem to be taking ridiculously long! And for reasons unbeknownst to me... :/ Regardless, thanks for the update!
