Bike (gravel and paved) 2:39:22 [3] 35.5 mi (13.4 mph) +450ft
shoes: Niner Air 9
Greenway + Katy O&Bs in both directions: Late start resulted in tough conditions - blustery/blowing snow w/ some accumulation on much of Katy sections. Colder than anticipated - planned for 30F but 18F at finish & I hovered on the edge of too cold due to sub-par clothing selections. Was glad to have a bit of contingency clothing (wind pants). Needed a little more for hands/feet, although Japanthers performed admirably considering. Note to self: toe warmers that expired in 2012 last 30 min. max, if lucky. Doh! Had a light and planned to ride more but opted to end @ dusk due to clothing miscalculation.
Sun came out the last 8 mi. & was spectacular - sparkly, twinkling snowflakes drifting down to the trail and landscape-painting-worthy pink clouds over quiet Mo. River. Ahhhh...
