Great job BobbyG ! I only rode my age once, and that was when I was 53. That's also been the farthest I've ever ridden in my life. Last week a coworker told me when her dad turned 70 he rode his bicycle solo from Humboldt, SD to Anchorage, AK. It took him 45 days and he covered more than 3,200 miles. As much as I'd love an adventure like that, I don't see myself ever having that kind of stamina on the bicycle.

Consecutive bicycle work commute number 2268:

It was 45°F this morning when I left the house. At 6:30 AM. In January. In South Dakota. That is absolutely insanely warm weather. I took the road bike. Even with the 15mph headwind it was an easy rider for winter.

The temp is *only* supposed to rise about five degrees today, but that still puts us at 50°F. Oddly enough, despite us having above well average temps there is still quite a few snow piles hanging around. We're supposed to get back to normal January weather by the end of this week, with subzero temps starting next week. A 60° temp swing in the space of a few days is probably going to be painful.
