"Slushy Snowy Tar" - one/one/eleven - East Bay Bike Path - RI

- Weather: clear/sunny
- Temp: 45+

Notes: Out to redo the 8.3 mile ride from the other day but conditions on the bike path have become slushy with the warmer temps.  Made it real tough to stay on the hardpack.  I initially tried to ride on 30 psi in the tires but that wasn't low enough.  Rode on almost flat tires just to stay on a straight course...I'm guessing around 10-15 psi did the trick.

Tidbits:  So I tried my newly acquired mobile phone app that automatically posts my GPS trip data to Trimble Outdoors website.  Here's the data the app captured... the link brings you to the map.  Should work well for future trail rides.
