It was a tad cold for this one and I should have layered better, but after the first few miles I was OK. As Iceman gets closer these road bike rides will dwindle. As the weather falls apart I will be putting time in on the cycle trainer. I borrowed a trainer from a friend and already have spun a few miles off. It's terribly boring, but I have to do what I have to do.
This was my first ride at Anderson Park. The trail was designed my mountain bikers for mountain bikers so it is a well planned trail with some nice man-mades, berms and log crossings. BUT it's typical of a trail that is designed in a small area; riddled with twists and turns. The trail lacks a good consistent flow and has to be ridden at a very low speed. I'll go back, but I'm not in a big hurry. I'm much more into the seat-of-your-pants style riding that can be found on the Poto. That is my most favorite trail in Michigan, hands down.

| A nice bridge that is narrow and high enough to require a solid commitment. |
 |
| Interesting wood berm...you have to be hauling ass to hold your line. |
 |
| Puffball from hell. This thing was the size of a beach ball. |
Don't ask how I'm averaging over 15 MPH on my silly single speed. I do know that during this ride I was thinking about how bad I want to destroy the Iceman course!
