A relaxing morning with no where to go. I headed West on the Cedar Lake trail and cut through Hopkins to the Minnetonka trail. I was on my Trek road bike but didn’t have any trouble with the chipped limestone. I did have some trouble with a few running groups. The one was talking so loud they couldn’t hear me asking for the pass so I had to yell. Geesh!

It was a nice day to be riding. Mid-50’s. I didn’t have a specific plan or destination. Though I did at some point decide to cut over through Gray’s Bay which I’ve done a few times and know the route. Going past that adds a good chunk of distance I think. And taking McGinty adds some good hills, but makes for a shorter ride. Route 101 is hilly enough. I stopped at Gary’s Bay and ate a bit and then kept going. I wasn’t specifically in a hurry and was enjoying the ride. But I did set a few segment PRs. I rode back on the Luce Line and it wasn’t too exciting.

The leaves are starting to change and fall, so it is quite pretty out there!

Total miles was 27.6 miles in 1:59.
