The snow that fell today should disappear almost as quickly as it came as our temps are supposed to rise steadily for the coming week and we really do need to get as much moisture as we can as it has been one of the driest springs on record.
Am looking forward to getting out on a shakedown ride on today's build and might even be able to do that tomorrow although Thursday is more probable.
It was snowing sideways first thing this morning and it was carnage on the roads... it has been so warm that the cagers had already forgotten how to drive in winter conditions.

Only thing I miss about winter riding are the seemingly calmer winds. These spring winds are really starting to get to me.

No I don't work for them or have any affiliation, I just spent several months trying to find something suitable and these were perfect. I had thought about the ski goggles, but they are way too heavy.

What's not to like? To warm for snow. To cold for enjoying the water. It was nice camping this weekend and not having to worry about bugs though.

I never took them off my winter bike, but that bike is now at my parents' house. Apartment living doesn't provide storage space for a fleet. I wasn't going to ride while it was coming down yesterday anyway, and this morning I just took the Aurora, and it worked fine, albeit slowly.

I got through the slush and snow on my Kuwahara yesterday just fine without studs... things were pretty icy this morning and I did not see the usual cyclists here.
