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?
Hell yeah, right there with ya.

Definitely not enjoying the snow, cold-arse weather, dodging the potholes, narrower roads from snow piles, and debris left where the roads are ripped up, or the other alternative--muddy trails.

I was inspired today, however, seeing one of the locals out for his afternoon ride.
I'm looking forward to a good ride for sure.
If the trail is frozen hard tomorrow I may get out there, or just take the MTB to the local hill roads.
