Warmer Weather


After a couple cold weeks, the weather turned warmer. When I headed out for my ride it was 45 deg and filtered sunshine. Parked at the Wabash Trace Trailhead and headed toward the Western Historic Trails Center.

The bicycle trail is mostly clear and dry. Some spots are wet with melting snow. Caution! Underpasses and the railroad tunnel are icy. The tunnel is particularly treacherous. The tunnel has a lot of standing water with ice underneath. My bike slid under me and had problems just walking in the tunnel.

There is a big drift crossing Indian Creek Trail just South of Hwy 92. A couple other short sections have slushy snow.

With day-time highs in the 50s this week, the trails should be clear withing a couple days.

It was great to be back on a bike for a good ride.
