Dead Sick of Winter
I woke up several hours ago to find it snowing...again.
I know some of us have suffered the results of horrendous weather conditions and I feel for you. I am not trying to compare my woe to yours. Moreover, some here are intrepid souls who delight in riding all through winter, and some live in climes with year round warmth and sunshine, but I’m a fair weather rider from the Northeast and I am just plain tired of winter!
I want to go out on long and aimless bike rides, stopping to cool down with an iced coffee, visiting farm markets, or just admiring the landscape as I pass by.
I want to prepare my body for long charity rides on the bike rather than in my basement.
I want to clean out my gardens, prune my perennials, and plant some annuals.
I want to watch the birds in my garden while drinking my morning coffee outdoors in my screen house.
I want to attend outdoor concerts.
I want to post on this forum about an interesting ride I’ve just had.
Okay, my rant is over. Anybody else dreaming of nice weather?
