The +1C ride home was great. However drinking a bottle of Coke before heading out wasn't. I had a cramp in my stomach about half way home. I took it slow and enjoyed the ride and even managed to get home before it started raining.

I detoured over to the skating rink. Since it was covered in puddles of standing water I opted to not do any speed runs on the ice flats.

The snow on some of the wooden bridges on the MUP was melting much faster than the stuff on the path. What was rock hard this morning, I sunk completely through making it difficult to navigate. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time it gets warm.

By the time I got home the bike was wet and grimy with snow wedged everywhere so I had to give it a good cleaning and relube. It was warm enough to wash outside so the cleaning went faster than the indoor cleaning I did earlier in the week.

Next week is supposed to be back to the normal cold temps, so it should stay clean for a while. Unfortunately its supposed to snow again on the weekend which will mess up the roads and MUP which are both in great riding condition.
