Low 80s in early March? Unusual even for NC, but why question it. Was unsure how dry the woods would be as well as not having a lot of woodsy options, so Raleigh's extensive greenway/paved trail system is a decent alternative to riding on roads with cars. Started from Anderson Point this time but THEN discovered a similar parking lot and starting place at Poole Road, so that will be the next start/stop location. The choice to ride clockwise was the correct one, as climb up to the peak near the art museum is considerably more gradual in this direction (compare 10-15 vs 15-20). The March legs were pretttttty tired at the end and the last 4-5 miles were a bit of a slog as every little rise in the trail took quite a bit of effort. It's as if there was zero riding since the new year. There's not been a lot but surely the Peloton workouts helped? Seems like nah. Still, quite a nice day and amazing to be riding in shirt sleeves in early March.
