Don't know if I'd call it a ride. Went out on 4/21 to my favorite section of the local MUP, unloaded the bike out of the back of the truck, then saw the sign- "Path Closed Ahead". Didn't say how far ahead, and it's a LONG paved path, so figured I'd give it a go. Should have packed up and headed for a different section but didn't. Around 3.5 miles was where it was closed. So turned around, and luckily the section joins another park (in the opposite direction from the parking lot) that can be accessed after riding a long uphill. Between the wind- 20+ with gusts in the upper range, the pollen- my black SUV is now yellow, and few rides in so far this season, I just wasn't in good form. I did manage to get around 10 miles done but isn't going to be one of my favorite rides this season. But between very high winds this spring, rain, and allergies kicking up, was "biting at the bit" to get a ride in. Did find that the triple front der. adjustments worked well. Bike felt good, worked great, looking forward to better rides ahead.
