Yesterday Dave and I met for a morning of rolling, adding up to 43 miles by the end of the day. We visited Iroquois, Eva Bandman Cyclocross Park, Smokey Beans Coffee House in Old Louisville and a few hills to climb on the way home. It was great to take a wandering long day after a series of short "training rides".

Updated Rawland Sogn at Iroquois Park lookout, looking NE towards the 'Ville. |

Sogn overlook the problematic Worlds Cyclocross course. There are geese back there if you look closely. |

They're supposed to use this run up in a couple weeks. I'm a fan of the island. |
This afternoon, though, things are busy and there is a family schedule to follow, so a "training" ride was in order, although I didn't push too much. A big teensF cold front is moving in, so I took advantage of the last of the almost warm-ish weather available, if 38F and windy is warm. Off and on I wondered whether I should stretch out for more miles or more tempo or more hills, but instead I told myself, "Heck No!". It was a nice one hour
I hope you got out too.

That Sogn is awesome looking. You got me thinking about doing something similar to my old mountain bike. How does it ride?
@KYPh, I'm very pleased so far with the Sogn. It's 650b and I often ride 35cm, but I was glad to find the fat rubber (around 54cm or or so). Later Sogns are a bit more like brevet-ish lightweight all-rounders, but this one is an original big boy. Gravel, touring and commuting are all in its realm. So far, so good.
