Chris, come on up here and you can try riding in freezing rain - so much more fun than the regular kind! We're having a beautiful spring so far - This morning temp was +1C, 34 F, NorthEast wind of 25 mph bringing 200 miles worth of Lake Ontario open water dampness and drizzle. Not freezing drizzle yet, that's forecast for this afternoon. We're supposed to have this for the next 3 days.
This morning's ride was a character builder, the 25 mph wind was a cross wind, so I got to practice riding with the bike at a nice lean to the side. I found a nice yellow bungee chord on the way, made the whole trip worthwhile!
Still wearing the winter stuff, except lighter shoes and beanie instead of balaclava. Isn't spring a great time of year?
