100 psi, 700x23 Michelins. It looks worse than it was. Only had to do 1.5 miles on the return loop. It will be fantastic when they finish it.

Thanks for the kind words regarding the Egret pic. The “wetlands” are a bit of an illusion. In reality, it’s a retention pond off of I94. The water birds don’t seem to mind and have made a real comeback in the last 20 years.
