23 miles and I didn't see even one other cyclist, a first for the season. It was 19F this morning--the same as yesterday--minus yesterday's unexpected flurries. I wonder if the snow scared them off? There was a four mile stretch going home yesterday that was a bit "uncomfortable" with slick tires, and it was a little better this morning. I really do need to get my hybrid with studded tires running again!

The Mississippi River was a bit calmer and reflective this morning without yesterday's wind. Given the low level of water, it's more like a narrow lake these days. Not much movement of what's there...
