I have only been able to do 83 miles this month so far, and a lot of it in nasty weather.
Crazy isnt it. I'm still running a fan in the basement to dry things out.
Yesterday went for a ride with the BikeForum C&V guys out in Crystal Lake. Snow and ice on my windshield greeted me in the morning. On the drive out a sprinkling of snow on the ground. About 35 degrees at the 9:00 start, and heading into stiff headwind. I lined my riding jumper with newspaper for insulation. Felt balmy on the way back with temps in the upper 30's and a tailwind. At least the Sun was out. And it was a nice ride to boot.
