Winter was not bad. After all these years I've finally compiled a good winter ensemble that keeps me reasonably warm even into the teen°F temps for rides in excess of 25-30 miles. I'm in southern, coastal RI and our snowfall this winter was less than half the average. Yet, although it's technically 'spring'...there's still a chance for more snow (we've gotten almost a foot in April in past years). Nevertheless, there were some cold days but that didn't hamper my ability to hit the roads too much. I hit a milestone on January 27th as I rode my 60,000th lifetime mile. (I know that many of you have way more miles. But lots of my exercise time is spent running and swimming too.) It'll be a few more weeks until I can put away the winter gear. But I'm looking forward to warmer temps and longer days.
