I unclipped a couple times when the gusts made it hard to control the bike, I didn't put the foot down, but felt like I needed to be ready to put a foot down. I modified my route to get to a trail off the lake and away from traffic.
Lake ice is almost gone on Lake Minnetonka!



Today's ride is a little more 'official' as a commute, bike past my old office to the Memorial Blood Center to make a donation. It will be a slow ride home, no Strava KOMs!
My family lived right on Lake Minnetonka when I was born, back in 1954. I suppose that property is worth a fortune now. We had 8 kids, so it was a big house.
