Bike in to help close up work. It was a mix of crunchy crust, some bare ground, and a lot of boiler plate ice. The new bad ass tires worked well. Way home was more soft crust but still lots of ice.

Hauled and stacked a couple of loads of wood as it thawed out. Also hand-sawed part of a tree that’s been frozen across the trail for a month, and made a passage.
Beautiful bluebird day. Went out with 2 slowpokes named Tarno and the Ryddler, and managed to hang on for a full lap before my knee was done with skate skiing. Maybe the fastest I’ve gone in years.

Switched to classic with hard wax, (Rode Multigrade) and had a good lap, until the wax just gave out on the last uphill.
Foggy run in a little soft snow followed by muddy bare ground and mostly ice. Run home was almost all hardpack ice. BZdog was sliding all over the place. Overdressed in the AM, left my jacket and was underdressed for the run home in bright sunshine but 10 degrees cooler.
