Santa Fe Trail to Palmer Lake
Rode 27 miles via the Santa Fe trail from the house to Palmer Lake. The way out, north, is all up hill climbing 900ft to 7,306ft at the lake. The way back, south, is fun downhill. Trails were muddy and icy, glad I put on the mud guard before the ride. It's been rarely above freezing the last few weeks. Today was nice break as it was sunny and in mid 40s. A rare dry section of the Santa Fe Trail. Had a gel and water while in the middle of frozen Palmer Lake.
