Where my bike took me today

We've had three days of heavy fog, no wind, and thick frost. Temps are just right that the roads are wet but fairly clear of ice. Rode 10 miles today at a recreational pace just to enjoy the view.

Nice pics. I'm getting ready to head out to the coffee shop to sit outside in the sun and read while having an ice drink :-) I've had no ride for a week because of a cold. Today was an annual checkup for one of my cats. I woke up today without the swollen eyes crusted shut, so tomorrow is going to be a long, slow paced ride.

I don't miss New Hampshire at all. Cold and grey all winter..... At least it was before Global Warming.

Wow, I remember those kinds of winters when as a boy we lived in the northeast. I never would have thought of ridding my bike anywhere in that kind of weather back then. Come to think about it, I still would never think about ridding my bike in that kind of weather. Lucky for me, we don't get that kind of weather here. It's still beautiful though.

Oh. I miss the ice and the snow. When is winter going to come back to the east coast USA? It went from fall straight to spring in Washington DC.

This winter in New Hampshire has been very calm and pleasant compared to most of the other winters here. We did have a very large storm in october though.
I have felt like it was something not natural or wrong? Maybe global warming? haha
