Unfortunately inbound on Elston the same can't be said for cars parking closer to the curb especially between N. Central Ave. and Western.

Felt good to wear less layers. Also the cars are parking close to the curb now, SO MUCH SPACE.

The lakefront path from the north was more like the 'chain of lakes' today.  Someone threw a lot of salt down on the bare pavement, too.

The salt will come in handy tomorrow night when the temperatures drop and it starts snowing.

I'm afraid that path will be better suited for ice skates on Wednesday!

Yeah - I'm not sure what spots like this will look like at mid-teens-to-twenties. Sometimes you end up with rough but passable icy slush. If it's frozen solid it'll be no-go.

From the ecstatic high of being on my own bike for the first time since the fall (thanks Divvy!) to the low of a flat tire after only a few miles (and forgetting a spare tube).  Oh well, the LBS that did my spring tune up will fix for free this evening.

More snow is fine with me, as long as it's around on the weekend when I can ski.

They appear to be SKS longboards (45mm wide). But they only fit 700c and 650B tires.

They're longboards and they won't work with 26 inch wheels, though they may make something under a different name for that size.

On another note I want it to get cold again since there were so freaking many people clogging up the trail this afternoon.

Side streets were empty and the city actually patched most of the craters on Hubbard.  Augusta could use a street-sweeper AND some patching.
