Winter is finally arriving here. 31 degrees this morning but it's climbing into the 50's this afternoon. Yesterday's rain left some patches of ice along the way but easy enough to deal with. When I get some time I'll breakout the studded tires. Calling for strong winds, rain/snow Friday thru Saturday. Taking a longer route home. Winding through a neighborhood along the St. Louis River and then a couple miles of gravel back to my regular route. The city did a fair amount of maintenance on the gravel road this summer so it's rideable again.
