#BikeStreak Day 57:
Despite it being the first day of meteorological spring, we were back into winter weather as it was 19F (-7C) when I set off on my road #bicycle. I rode the #RochMN city trails and the Douglas State Trail to Douglas and back for 30 miles. But the stronger March sun kept me warm enough that I did not need heated gloves or socks; I would have on a cloudy day. Yesterday's strong winds took down a couple large limbs on the trails that will need to be remedied.

So ready for warmer weather so trails can open officially and the trees on the trails can be taken care of.
Was just told more snow for us next week.

The DNR has seasonal crews that clean the trails, and they don't start work until the end of March. It may be early April before the trail gets cleaned.
They haven't played the MN boys HS basketball tournament yet; expect at least one snowstorm until then. But then again Minnesota's poet laureate, Prince, wrote a song, "Sometimes it Snows in April."
Just moved here last Halloween so didn't know the trail schedule. Or that things were seasonal
Kept getting surprised by a lot of stuff I'd planned on doing being "Closed for the Season"
Thanks for the helpful information.
