I was all set to ride this morning but opted to drive instead. I need to go to the doctor one day this week, and today seemed like the best option weather-wise. Temps were in the mid-30s when I got up, with light rain mixed with sleet and snow expected to start during my normal commute time, followed by high winds the rest of the day. The weather is supposed to be relatively nice the rest of the week, so hopefully the doctor's office can fit me in today and I can ride in more pleasant conditions on Tues-Friday.

We have had awful weather in NC for the past month, not particularly cold but with fronts moving through the area every few days. Worst of all, we are in a cycle where the weather has been terrible almost every weekend since early February. I normally get in a long ride of 50-60+ miles every Saturday or Sunday, but have been rained out every weekend since late January. If it weren't for commuting, my cycling mileage would be way off so far this year, but I am way above normal because the weather has been relatively nice on weekdays and I've been commuting on a lot of iffy days.
