Great Western Fat Bike Ride 3-09-24

Trek Farley 9.6. Mostly sunny, beautiful day, a bit chilly - low 40's up to a high of 43, very windy @ 17-18 mph from the NW, so a stiff headwind the entire first half of the ride but a nice push on the way home. A few other cyclists out, including a unicycle and plenty of hikers.

Most of the ride was off road, either on the limestone trail or off the side of the paved trail through The Windings. I pushed pretty hard both into the wind and on the return, probably my fastest ride on the fat bike so far. The Great Western trail was in pretty good shape, surprisingly, with the 24 hours of rain yesterday. Definitely a mostly flat to gently sloped ride.
