Headed towards the in city bike paved trail which takes me to the outside of town. Decided to ride on the sidewalks here, cars and me getting to close for comfort with slippery streets.
Ahhhhgg!!! Had about 5 miles in, ready to get on Heritage Trail and noticed I lost my toe cover I made from a old pair of winter shoe covers. I thought about not turning around, toes with the missing toe cover were getting colder then the other foot, so back track I did, and here it lies.
Rode this back trail to Sageville Iowa.
Now out in the country. Snow well packed. 2.3 Studded Nokian Freddies, worked flawlessly. I timed how long I rode to determine what point to turn around to get home before sunset. 6 hours of riding, would have liked to ride longer. Back tracking and then back again added a extra 10 miles. I did not make it to my destination I had planned but I realize it's much more about the journey, then the destination. Kept a eye open for snow mobilers, so I could move over so we could pass each other without a CraSh!!
Thanks for visiting, ride a bike when you can, Dave
