Nice day today, clear, a little cold (28f) and no wind. Haven't ridden for a few days due to the heavy rain, wind, and tstorms. Finally took off the studsded tires last Sunday. Average speed outside of town jumped from 12 to 15.

The bike path west of Mndelein is a mine field of broken glass, gravel, and construction debris. Looks like it might be easier just to stay on the rode.
