The S-curve was a dirt singletrack through the ice but passable. Lots of sand just south of Fullerton but not the worst I've seen it.

Agreed, it's ride-able, just messy. If you start further south take it easy around the s-curve b/c it was only wide enough for one close to the wall. By now it's probably melted more though. Good luck!

South of Fullerton, few hundred feet. Sand's not too deep, and you probably can take a detour on a muddy path which parallels the trail at that point.

How big were the sand stretches? I was planning on LFP for my ride home tonight.

I can hear the wind gusting out there. I rode into the office this morning, but now I'm wondering about riding home tonight. I've got a couple of hours left at the office, so I hope folks will report after thier commute home.

I usually ride parrellel to the bus routes home, that way if the wind gets too bad or I have mechanical problems, I can just jump on the bus.

Went out to the lakefront and back from Humbolt park today. Overdressed, sweaty. shed layers and gloves on the way home. It was a little messy, but very nice.

I rode EVERYWHERE today. It was awesome. Windy, but awesome.

Yes.

Windy on the way home. At this point I'm sort of craving a bit of snow cover to brighten up all the garbage left behind by melted snow.

Today was pretty windy, but the best part of the riding today was coming home after the chainlink bar night and NOT having to do the undressing, unlayering dance before going to the restroom.

Windy again today. But I'll take it over zero degrees!

Makes the ride North in the PM quite nice (unless wind changes direction)!
