Sunday, January 31, 2016 - Blacklick Creek Trail, Three Creeks to Glacial Knoll (PicPonds). High 50s, overcast and windy would be a depressing day for mid Autumn but was glorious for mid Winter. We met at Three Creeks trailhead before noon, posed for the group shot and rolled east on the Blacklick Creek Trail with a good tailwind and a sense of joy to be riding this early in the season. We were all dressed warmly and some soon had to shed a layer. Temps eventually hit 60. Nice! At the turnaround at Glacial Knoll trailhead, we were pleased to find that the restrooms were open. We headed back into a 20 kt. headwind that fortunately was broken by the many stands of naked trees. Post ride chow was held at the local Frischs. Good soup but no beer. One mechanical. David and Linda planned to ride from their home in Bexley to the Three Creeks trailhead but Linda flatted just before Livingston Ave and they abandoned. We missed them.
