Cycling has definitely been one of my passions. It even dictated what kind of dog we got!
Unfortunately, Mother Nature was a big tease this year. January was warmest on record and the snow and ice was nearly gone. We were hit with a blizzard last week with a bit more than 2 feet of snow and this morning was -13 F. *sigh*
It's worth it for the summers though. 18+ hours of daylight and rarely warmer than 85 F. LOVE IT.
