Nice Lex-Snelling hike. Hobo sleeping in the bermuda triangel between BNSF tracks, Snelling and Energy Park Drive. I had already put the dogs back on, otherwise the guy would have had a sloppy awakening. He must have heard us walk by because he was awake when I walked by on Snelling and looked down. We exchanged a wave. Mellie seems better today.

Nice ride in. -2 °C but no wind, very pleasant. Early start, little traffic, only a couple other cyclists, more competition from runners. Dawn creeping up behind me, slowly in the eastern sky. Just lovely.

Came home to a minor disaster: Mellie had gotten sick in her crate. Better that than all over the house. Gave her a bath, cleaned crate and did walk. Kept both dogs on leash most of the time because I suspected that they may have picked up they deemed palateble but that was not good for dogs. Chatted Diane on the way out and with Uwe as we approached home.

Based on icy spots I saw when taking dogs out early in the morning, I opted to take the bike to the train and ride home from work.

Parked in City Center today and took Hennepin to !st Str N and went home from there. Took the S St. Anthony variant to avoid the NE wind. Rode along Pierce Butler, which was just fine. Couple people cut me off, one woman with a big honking SUV passed me very slowly and took a right turn in front of me into a UMN ramp. On the other hand, a semi on Pierce Butler could have very easily done the same, turning S onto Snelling but adjusted his speed to let me cross the exit. I've said this before, as a bicyclist, I am generally impressed with commercial drivers and how mindful they are.

Nice weather, some hiking some jogging. Most of yesterday's snow is gone, only in deep shade and on the north slopes of the railroad grades.

2-3 °C colder than yesterday feels quite a bit colder. No other cyclists until I got to CLT. Was quite a bit earlier, too. Nice tailwind from the east.

Snowy walk, sort of in a rush because I am to meet friends at the Northgate Brewery. Last chance for the dogs to run in snow? Probably not.

Dunn Bros coffee run and the scenic route. Very nice. Came in later than usual, amazing what 15-30 minutes does to the locker room, especially the showers. A total mess.

Almost the same conditions as yesterday afternoon. Some shrubs are showing the first signs of green, took a picture of a elderberry shrub sporting small leaves and flower buds. But snow in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow ...

NE wind on way home, Quite a few cyclists out. I noticed for the first time that I can see Hwy 280 from the east end of the Dinkytown Greenway.

Very nice commute this morning, cool but no wind. I was running a little behind, getting ready after a weekend at the cabin. Had tried to remove the freehub from my bike but was unsuccessful, even using a pipe to extend leverage on the beefy 11 mm allen wrench. I have to figure out how to hold the wheel so I can work the wrench and extension with both hands. I lubricated the old freehub as good as I could but it still makes gravely and crunching noises but does not skip.

Stiff headwind, quite a change from this morning, when it was calm. A pleasant ride nevertheless. A lot of bikes parked in TPC and many on the roads and trails.

McCulloch-Kjarvick Hike
-2.5 °C ;Clear
Crossed a neighbor's property to cut directly to McCulloch. I just hate walking along Hwy 13. Continued this pattern of trespass by crossing the large meadow and then entering the woods. Did a little exploration on the property for sale N of McCulloch and stayed on the straight and narrow for the rest of our hike. Saw a herd of six deer off Kjarvick. The lake ice is diminishing, I can tell even over these few days we spent here. Another gorgeous morning.

Got my bike ride in after all. Snow still too deep on forest roads, sand already thawed and too soft, so I pieced together a route of the in between. Nice ride anyway.
