Note attatchment! Temp above 0 is rare for these parts this time of year, I'm thinking a big ride is on tap.. my fave 100km ride is coming to mind. It will probably hurt too as ive not been on a ride of such length since last october due to time of year. Gonna have to go to work on the crappy commuter bike tonight in preparation, could really use a new chain and a good cleaning.

Let us know when you're finished the ride. Half the time when I announce a ride before I do it, something happens and I don't do what I planned. Good luck!

That 6deg day looks doable for me until I noticed a windspeed of 20km/hr. A wind like that takes the spirit out of the ride.

palesaint: 20k-25k wind is the average for my area so its no big deal, I like the wind anyways, and the rain!

Machka: Well for me its tomorrow or who knows when, so even if im not feeling it tomorrow Im gonna have to tough it out, similar weather for monday and tuesday but I gotta work, so I gotta take advantage!

I know how you feel ... we're getting weather like that over here in Alberta too, and so I rode a century (100 miles) on January 2nd. It was the only day I had open for that sort of thing.

What part of Ontario are you from? A January thaw is pretty much guaranteed here in Toronto. Last year I was Mountain biking on New Years Day.

Im about 450km north from you in Sudbury "Hell of the north".

I got back from my ride earlier, didnt feel that great but good enough to do the whole 100k. My fitness obvliously went down a bit as expected not having done anything substantial outside since october, but It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, plus I was riding a 30lb bike so Im quite happy. Bad thing about the ride was the amount of sand on the shoulder of highway 17, I was riding ontop of wet sand 98% of the time, that realy slowed me down, and you shoulda seen my legs knee down, not to mention my bike!
