Well the day progressed and we now have a snow storm and a few inches of snow on the ground.
Where is spring these days and wow was I lucky I happen to start the ride when I did because it looked fine at first. This winter is never going to end I have not road outside once when it was even about 50 hardly.
I'm right there with ya, Deacon. I'm in Bloomington, and we got the snow big time on Easter. Solution? I pulled my fat bike out for one last romp in the snow (hopefully) until late fall.
There HAVE been some pleasant days this past month; my daughter and I have done a couple of longer rides through the McLean County countryside this past month. Hang in there; soon we will be complaining about the heat...
