Rolling on the West Side

Roughly 55 miles on an overcast March day, a nice early season ride to points west. Roads were good and mostly dry after the week of rain that greatly depreciated our snow pack and increased the overall width of the roads. Moving through some of the wetlands north of Lake Minnetonka showed little risk of flooding, which was good to see (those roads are low!). Climbing the last miles north out of Eden Prairie, into the wind and largely uphill, reminds me how completely different trainer miles are from actual road miles. Overall a good ride, now need to keep it up so that I can thoroughly enjoy the MN Ironman.
