Fuel EX 9.8. Sunny & bright, getting pretty warm up to 70, NE/East winds 10-12 mph with gust up to 18 mph but not a factor for most of the ride in the woods. Trails in perfect moist and tacky condition. I saw about 15 other riders out but not as busy as I would have expected for a holiday. I saw only one deer. A bit late riding as I did my usual Monday weights workout at Delnor before heading up to Rockford, so start time wasn't until around 11 am. I did 3-1/2 times around the founders loop, 3 trips up and down Big Wheel, twice on Prairie and Marsh trails then one complete loop on the North trails across the river. As usual, tons of punchy climbing. Spring in full force with lots of wildflowers. Headed home afterwards as not many places open on a Monday let alone a holiday.
