With my luck lately, if it were 60 and windless, there would be torrential rain!
Congrats on the good weather. Make hay while the sun shines.

I was going to say that anybody who posts legally on this forum isn't windless excepting the ladies that is. :D

I hate wind. Especially when the wind is in your face on both the out and back portions of the ride.:notamused:

Follow-up I was a very nice ride, I rode 25 miles in 1 1/2 hour. Slow, but as physically I am 53 and windless (lungs) and have been on my trainer about 6 times in the last month its not bad. I would say it was wonderful but the trees are still leafless and the grass is brown, although the snow capped mountains that surround Bozeman set a nice back drop to all rides here.

LOL, what is up with that, I keep thinking that, Ok, on the way home when I'm tried out, there SHOULD be a tailwind but it seems no matter what direction I head it's ALWAYS a headwind:rolleyes: When we used to hike, it seemed we got tailwinds but riding on the bike, I'm always cursing the dreaded headwind, ok I'm a windwuss, now ya know, happy?;)

50F and sunny this morning- and I was working. Gardening duty again this afternoon so hopefully I wake up tomorrow to a bright warm and still day.
No chance- the sun and warm bit will be there according to the forecast- but I would have to get riding before 6 am in the low 30's to be able to get a ride in without wind.
But I am offwork Monday and Tuesday- just as the rain is forecast to return.

92 degrees here. I enjoyed a typically middle eastern breakfast which is, I'm still tending to giggle about after 30 years, called 'foul mesdames' - its a porridge of white beans in garlic and tomatoes.
Windless - better ask the stoker after a lovely 40 mile tandem ride. From my point of view it was just fine.
