Finally starting into a warmer week, yesterday's snow yielded to rain and pretty good melting on road and rail-trail pavement. Headed out midafternoon for a nice 20 miles, slow rolled through some puddles here and there but such a nice break after feeling all but trapped indoors the past six days. Turned into my block at 4:30 still with ample daylight which is a nice improvement, too - nixed an earlier 24 mile idea to not be riding back down a major road at dusk but in retrospect I probably could have been off it while there was still plenty of light.

As it statrs to barely dip below freezing overnight, getting out earlier starts to be more of an option.
