Another nice Ronde on Saturday. Gina, however, began having some knee issues (I.T. Band) about as far south as you can get on the route. We did our best to shorten the ride as much as possible and finished with 54-55 miles. This improvisation led to some exploring of new roads. Unlike like last week, we avoided any hike-a-bike mud roads. Not even Lemen Rd left a sour taste in my mouth.

Bubba CX makes a return trip to Creve Coeur Park today. It will be interesting to see how well the park has drained after the steady rains this past Wednesday and Thursday. For the most part, the ground should be good but if we go behind the shelter or into the section that followed the gravel turn last time the ground could be muddy.
