Near record heat in West Central FL. Rode 30 miles tonight starting at 5:00 and the heat index was in the low 90's. Too bad daylight savings is going away, the nice after work rides are about over. Some cooler weather would be nice, but not Colorado 'cool'. That white stuff is not good for riding.

This October: More than 20 days with rain. One of the coldest on record. 10-20 mph winds most days.
Oh well; 239 miles in the last 5 days anyway.

Abnormally hot! 80F during our ride early this morning, rising to 91 by afternoon when I stayed indoors under a/c. Overnight low, 73F. I suppose it will eventually cool off.

I'm up the hill from you, at a little under 9,000 feet, in Bailey. Because of this weird 'banana belt' effect, (apparently we're sheltered by Mt. Evans) we only have about 6 inches on the ground although the roads are a mess. My wife slid our Pathfinder off the road and through a signpost this morning. She's fine, but the car...not so much.
It's coming down thick and fast as I write this though, so who knows where we'll be by tomorrow.

I am also up the hill from DnvrFox at 9000ft in Silverthorne The snow stayed east of the divide for the most part for this area.
We had light snow going sideways in the wind today.
Enjoyed? my first day on the trainer in the garage.

Snow dumped about 9" in a couple days. This one should stick till spring. Lots of fender benders with people driving too fast for that snow over an ice base. But, it is forecast to go below 0F in a couple days so the ice will start to get worn down and sublimated.
No one riding outside except for a very, very few who have wide, studded tires and prepared bikes. For the rest of us it is trainers and spin classes.

That could be any day of the year in Silverthorne! I took off the Blue River after paddling in a snowstorm on July 4th one year. Put on the river outside town in the upper 60s, took off just above Green Mountain Res. in a driving snow.

Rain, wind - a lot of each with temps reaching 60 maybe. Got out yesterday for a quick 18 mile ride but I'm still suffering from Parked Bicycle Syndrome.

I'm heading out for a ride with friends this morning. It's 63F with 20-25 mph winds. I'm not real fond of the wind but I can't waste the nice temps this time of the year.
