Where's Winter?!
SE Wisconsin weather has been very weird this Winter. Temps have been in the 40s for the past few days so the small amounts of snow that has fallen is gone. Today it's sunny and in the 30s so I took the bike out of the trainer and headed out. Found out about 17ish miles into my ride going up a hill how slippery ice can be on a road bike. Ouch! Ride was worth it though; I hate the trainer.

I enjoy Winter with snow. Winter-sports are a lot of fun. Coldish temps. (warm for WI but cold enough) and almost no snow for play is no fun! Can't wait for Spring!

I am not complaining just a little south of Wi in Illinois it has been great. Had the last week of December off work rode 200 miles in 6 days unheard of, and today able to ride a 33 miles and at a good clip for winter riding. Being a runner I can by winter as I increase my running but first time ever I back off in December to ride more. If I did not have preach 3 Masses tomorrow I would go out again it suppose to be good.

It was around 50 yesterday and today. It was single digit temps earlier in the week with a few inches of snow. I just like to have one or the other please.
