Heute habe ich's dank Garmin am Abend noch mit Mr. #Winterbrompton #rausgeschafft, trotz Sommerpneu, im Gesicht pieksendem Schneeregen und #frostpendeln-würdigen 0℃. Ziel war einerseits, heute überhaupt Rad zu fahren, da ich mittlerweile wieder 'nen #Bikestreak von 19 Tagen habe (nun 20) und andererseits über 20 Minuten unterwegs zu sein, sodass es zur Garmin-Challenge "Aktiv im März" zählt (nun 13/20). Groß mitgenommen hatte ich außer #Brompton Toolset und Pumpe nix. Jetzt verdiente Badewanne.

#BikeStreak Day 59:
What a difference 24 hours makes. Yesterday 55F (13C) and sunny, today 20F (-7C) and snowing heavily. So I climbed back on my fatbike with studded tires and rode the #RochMN city trails for 11 miles. On the way back, I couldn't even see my tracks from an hour earlier as it was snowing so hard. It will be back above freezing starting Monday, so we'll see how long this snow lasts.

#BikeStreak Day 58:
Because the forecast was for increasing winds in the afternoon, I went out on my bike ride early, while it was still cool. It eventually got to 55F (13C) but the winds weren't that strong. In any case I rode up the Douglas State Trail again to see how far I could get before hitting ice and snow across the trail, and this time I got to just South of Douglas, 4.5 miles up the trail. There's snow in the forecast for tomorrow, so I may be back on studded tires.

#BikeStreak Day 54:
Just as cold to start as yesterday (12F, -11C) but with a lot less wind and sunny skies, it was a lot more pleasant for riding today. As I am running out of sunflower seeds for the backyard bird feeders, I hooked up the trailer to the ebike and went to Fleet Farm for a 40# bag. As that was only a 9 mile round trip, I detached the trailer at home and then rode up to and around Silver Lake and back for another 11 miles.

#BikeStreak Day 47:
The string of unbelievably awesome cycling weather (for February in Minnesota) continues. It was in the 50's F, sunny and almost no wind. I waited until Team USA Women's Ice Hockey Team had a safe lead and then set out on a loop out to Salem Corners, Byron and back on Valleyhigh Road for 40 miles. The latter always had a pretty view but was a dangerous route to cycle until they recently rebuilt it adding a wide paved shoulder.

#BikeStreak Day 46:
With it 50F (10C), sunny and with light winds, EVERYONE was enjoying a beautiful False Spring Sunday afternoon. I decided to see whether the Douglas State Trail was rideable, and it was for a bit, but spots Northwest of 65th Street were completely covered with snow and ice, so I turned around at that point. I added a loop around Cascade Lake to get a 30 mile bike ride. But the lake loop trail was extremely busy; there were more folks on it than I've ever seen.

#BikeStreak Day 45:
I'm back in the saddle. I swapped out the studded tires on my gravel bike so I could use it for a road ride while the road bike is getting fixed. Today was the warmest so far this year, topping out at 52F (11C) under sunny skies, but a bit windier than yesterday. I rode the Eyota, Chester loop for 33 miles. I would have gone longer on my road bike, and I was being cautious due to the minor injuries, but I'm feeling much better, so I'm relieved.

#BikeStreak Day 42:
When it is sunny, with light winds, above freezing and the roads are clean and dry in Minnesota in February, you just have to take a nice long road bicycle ride. I rode from home Southwest into Rock Dell Township and back for 37 miles. It was quite pleasant. Leaving town, I ran into one of my hockey team buddies on the Zumbro River South Trail. The route included a steep hill, up to 8% grade and tackling that is helping me get back into form.

#BikeStreak Day 40:
It was almost 40F (4C) when I set out on my ride. I rode 31 miles on #RochMN city trails and county roads West of town. As I live in far Southeast Rochester, I have to ride through town whenever heading West or North, so my "road" ride today was more on city trails than roads. Fortunately the Mayowood Trail was *mostly* clear of snow and ice so I was able to head out that way today. I still need to work on my stamina for longer rides and for climbing hills.

#BikeStreak Day 38:
With the county roads clean and dry, I went out for a legitimate road ride on my road bike, the Eyota loop for 32 miles. It was 17F (-8C) when I set out and it was 25F (-4C) when I returned home. The wind was out of the Southeast so I had a tailwind most of the latter half of the ride. A Red-tailed Hawk flew close by and a Bald Eagle was in a farm field nearby as I rode. The traffic on the county roads without shoulders was very light, so that was a plus.

#BikeStreak Day 36:
For the first time in three weeks, the temperature is above freezing. We are on the front end of a warming trend that should last about 10 days, so we will have some melting. With the relative warmth, I could ride with fewer layers and used my bike helmet (with cover) instead of my ski helmet and goggles. I rode the 12 mile round trip to have coffee with the hockey guys. I hope to do a legitimate road ride soon.

#BikeStreak Day 35:
Today is the midpoint of astronomical winter or the beginning of Solar Spring (Northern Hemisphere), with the darkest quarter of the year now over. That it falls near Groundhog Day and Candlemas Day is not a coincidence.
Today I rode to a meeting with a local elected to discuss restoring bicycle access to downtown #RochMN after Mayo Clinic's Bold. Forward. Unbound. program will cause the existing bike lanes to get vacated with a new hospital construction.

#BikeStreak Day 32:
I had my first crash in awhile on my bike ride today. It had snowed almost 2 inches and I couldn't see the black ice under the snow on a turn and incline. But the good news was that I fell into 2" of new snow, so no harm, no foul. It was 22F (-6C) the warmest ride in over 10 days. But because of the new snow, I had to go back to my fat bike. I saw one other fat biker out on the #RochMN city trails. The falling snow got heavier near the end of the ride.

#BikeStreak Day 209:
It is another gorgeous Autumn day, albeit windy, winds out of the Southeast. So I got my road bicycle out and rode the Eyota Loop for 34 miles. I had lunch in Eyota and the Eyota Market's deli has decent lunch specials. It was a hard push to get to Eyota, but I had a good tailwind coming back. It looks like my streak will come to an end on Saturday as it is a full travel day. Some of the Oak trees have nice bronze leaves, but the color will be gone soon.

#BikeStreak Day 208:
On a gorgeous Autumn afternoon, I rode the Old Abe Trail out of downtown Eau Claire Wisconsin to Lake Hallie and back for 17 miles. I still have one more segment of this trail to ride to complete that trail up toward Chippewa Falls.

#BikeStreak Day 206:
Colder still, but with less wind, I rode my ebike to have coffee with my hockey buddies for 12 miles. We were discussing the start of our over-50 hockey group as we are approaching the 20th anniversary come January. That means all the charter members (myself included) with be over 70 then. The oldest current player is 84.Yesterday I unpacked all my winter cycling gear. But it's still too early to install the Bar Mitts (pogies).

#BikeStreak Day 203:
It was cool and sunny this morning, but was windy with some very strong gusts. So I kept the ride close to home, riding the #RochMN city trails for 23 miles. A lot of the trail system goes through wooded areas, especially the Bear Creek Trail and the Zumbro River South Trail, so that is good protection from the wind. It is supposed to remain windy, but rain is expected this afternoon and tomorrow. They're talking hard freeze by the weekend.

#BikeStreak Day 159:
This morning I rode the The Big Sioux River Recreation Trail and Greenway, a 19 mile loop around Sioux Falls South Dakota. It is paved and like the #RochMN city trails, is built upon the flood control levees. For that whole loop, I only had to cross traffic once! They've made use of old railroad truss bridges for bike/ped crossings. It definitely makes Sioux Falls bike friendly.

#BikeStreak Day 143:
Today I rode fairly early to meet old work colleagues for breakfast. Then afterwards I led a local bike club social group ride for coffee, a 10 mile ride on the #RochMN city trails. In all I rode 25 miles. It was an absolutely gorgeous morning to ride, the kind you dream about in February. Because of all the rain, everything is green and lush and everything looks clean. The only way you are certain it is late August is the incessant screams of the cicadas.

Tag 550:
38 °C, und man versteckt sich den ganzen Tag hinter verschlossenen Fenstern und hofft, dass die Kernschmelze nicht so schnell einsetzen wird
Das #Nachtradeln ist dann ein absolutes Highlight.
Es stürmt ohne Ende.

#BikeStreak Day 92:
I've now ridden every day in April, May and June. Today has a busy schedule, so I went out just after sunrise to ride the #RochMN city trails and the Douglas State Trail to milepost 6 and back for 32 miles. It was cool when I started and was getting warm when I returned. I mostly see the morning dog walkers, the early joggers and bicycle commuters at that time of day. The trail route means I do not have to deal with drivers in too much of a rush to get to work.

Kurz nach 23:00 Uhr habe ich Tag 540 durch die #Nacht gestartet.
Angenehm ruhig, niemand unterwegs außer zwei Bauern mit ihren Traktoren auf den Feldern.
Durfte sogar zweimal bei 26° durch die Berieselungsanlage fahren.

Tag 515:
Fahrrad ist fertig und im Wohnzimmer liegt auch alles bereit.
Ich bin noch etwas unentschieden, was die Strecke betrifft (die #BayernRunde wird meiner Vermutung nach südlich der Donau nächste Woche ziemlich feucht, deshalb habe ich eine Alternativ-Route über die #Saale und die #Mittellandroute im Kopf), aber ich hab ja noch bisschen Zeit bis Würzburg…
Morgen Vormittag geht’s los.

#BikeStreak Day 39:
Yet another fabulous May day for riding! I rode my #bicycle up the #RochMN city trails and the Douglas State Trail to Pine Island and back for 50 miles. With it being such an outstanding Friday afternoon, there were a large number of cyclists on the trails; everyone else wanted to be outside too. With it being later in the afternoon, I rode the grass trail to the SxSE Brewery in PI.

Tag 445: heute gab’s von acht bis 15:30 Uhr Stromausfall. Aber dank Mobilfunk war das kein Problem und jetzt Entspannung am heimischen Gewässer.
Die Laune war heut beziehungsweise ist noch immer ziemlich gut.

#BikeStreak Day 54:
Yesterday I saw on Strava that a friend had ridden most of the Douglas State Trail, meaning it is free of snow and ice. It was! I rode the #RochMN city trails and the Douglas State Trail to Pine Island and back for 47 miles. It was cloudy but upper 40'sF and light wind, so outstanding for a February ride. I've been hearing more songbirds, so I've been logging them via the Merlin app. On the way home I spotted a flock of Trumpeter Swans. Merlin confirmed!

#BikeStreak Day 50:
After watching #mnwild win in OT, and with the temperature just under the freezing mark, I set out for a #bicycle ride. But the front derailleur cable snapped almost immediately and I had to turn around and swap bikes. I ended up using my road bike to ride #RochMN city trails and some county roads for 30 miles. It was nice not having to use battery heated socks or gloves, and using my regular bike helmet instead of ski helmet and goggles.

#BikeStreak Day 36:
Is our snow drought coming to an end? There was barely a half inch of new snow as I set out for a ride on the #RochMN city trails on my #FatBike for 12.5 miles. But along the way it started snowing heavily, and on the way back, I could barely make out the tracks of my bike from when I started; it is approaching two inches deep, the most we've gotten since before Christmas. The winds were light and it was 25F (-4C) so it was rather pleasant riding in the snow.

Erstaunlich, wie schnell dieses #Radfahren, das Menschen in Blechbüchsen zur Weißglut bringt, meinen #Kopf voller Job Bullshit Bingo innerhalb kürzester Zeit, wie mit einem Laubbläser, wieder frei bekommt.

Das war aber sehr optimistisch von mir, heute bei #rausgeschafft, auf die lange #Unterhose zu verzichten.

Ich muss zugeben, heute war es ziemlich schlammig.

Gestern erzählte der Kollege, der in der Firma für sein großes und ausgiebiges Rennradfahren bekannt ist, dass er schon lange #Winterpause eingelegt hat und erst im April wieder richtig in der neuen #Saison anfängt.
Ich habe nichts dazu gesagt.
