After the cyclocross races I rode to the office and discovered that the new Holdrege St overpass is open! This connects the John Dietrich Trail to the Antelope Valley Trail. Taking it will eliminate over 8 blocks of riding on the streets during my work commute because the trails didn't connect until now.
Riding to the races and the office gave me 18.88 miles today on the Austro-Diamler.
I'm hosting a GPBC ride and hope you'll join us for the first annual NSFW Lincoln tour ride.
Not Sorry (for) Forgetting Work

I finally got the Felt out again after a couple of Thanksgiving weekends and deer season kept me mostly off it during the last couple of weeks.
It was great to get out again! KOLN/KGIN was reporting 18' this morning, but I was bundled up and there was no wind making it a sweet ride in.
This afternoon the wind was strong from the West but temps climbed up above 60'! I spotted these signs up in the parks warning would be pine snatchers that they've been sprayed and will stink up your home if you cut one down for the holidays.
Today's miles = 19.5
I ride by this piece of art every day on my commute to and from work, I noticed today that it was missing, hope it'll be back soon.
Today's miles to work and back = 19.85.
Found on the John Dietrich bike path between 24th St. and 25th St. at 6:45 this morning. I left it since I was on a bike myself.
Serial Number:
