The temps are creeping upward, and since I have Tuesdays free from the grind, I took the Cross-Check out today for a 2.5 hour ride thru western suburbs, road construction, and dog walkers. It felt great to just cruise with no real destination and I also ran some scenarios thru my head for the upcoming Slick 50. Tentative date is either the second or third Saturday in March. 50 mile slog; ride not a race. More nooze at 11...
