The title may be lost of folks from elsewhere, but this winter in Northern NE has been grim.
Yesterday I took the Miyata 512 off the trainer and did a not-so quick 10 miles. I got snowed on.
Today I did it again, with no snow. That made it official; the bike season has begun!

It stopped snowing here, and started raining.....

We had a couple sunny days, it was either 30* or there was a 50mph wind...

I'm a weather wimp.

Top,

Way to go! I know what we've been through. I did about 12 miles two weeks ago. It was tough and I took a spill on the ice despite studded tires.

You might be far enough north to mostly dodge the 6-8 inches of snow we are supposed to receive this morning. Schools canceled again. Our kids might go until July 3rd. Concord, NH only needs 3" to raise them into 2nd place with the most snow since 1873-74, and only 10" to surpass the all time record.

Keep on cranking, brother!
