Today's ride was moist. Started out only warm and humid - very calm. Took the Interurban Trail south across the Milwaukee River in Grafton. Once this bridge is built across Interstate 43, the Ozaukee County portion of the trail will be complete.
After reaching Grafton I turned north to Saukville along the western bank of the river. Started to drizzle, but still warm. The new bridge in Saukville is an improvement, but the traffic on Hwy 33 is still full of impatient drivers.
Headed further north on Cty W, now on the eastern bank of the river. Much of this stretch of Cty W was under water a few years ago. Not dry today, but above water. By the time I reach Mink Ranch Rd, the drizzle has turned to drops and the north winds have picked up. The temperature has dropped as well.
Turned east toward Port and called it a ride. As I took the last turn into Port on Cty KK, I remembered that this stretch - at 6:30am is not a comfortable ride. Simplicity workers from northern burbs use this as their private raceway. Without paved shoulders, there isn't much room for a bike, and at least one pick-up. We also have early departures from the third shift heading home.
