Around here, there's little reason not to ride year-round. It doesn't really get that cold. But that could be just me. YMMV.

A few more rides with the newly installed drop bars under my belt. I'm sure I need to tweak a few things for a little more comfort, but I'm getting more confident with them. Really appreciated the drops this morning with the headwind I had. Makes a bigger coherence than I would have thought. Just a couple more days commuting this week, then I'm off all of next week to visit inn laws in California. Cool Bay area temps, here I come! :-)
