Thurs. 4/3/08

Rode from my house to the SE. Temps were around 48 with light winds. Had to put on tights, wind socks, and several upper layers, but was comfy the whole ride. Went out past the gun club toward Eyota, then south on 41. Followed that up with a quick stint on hwy 52 until I jumped onto cty 7 heading south until I got to hwy 30. Then headed west back to Pleasant Grove (I won the sign). North on 1 through Fugel's Mill. It looks like they are planning on tearing up (and straightening out) the road from the Fugel's Mill bridge north to Simpson. Lots of trees cut down, red flags in the ditches, and a number of big earth-movers in the quarry just waiting for the frost to come out of the ground. Anyway, I won the Simpson sign as well, then back east on 11 and north to home. Almost 36 miles and no major mishaps.
