Yeah! It is predicted to hit 70 today here in sw Wi.. 1st time since late Oct of last year, of course, it will be in the 40's and 50's for the rest of the week but still. I saw also my 1st robin of the year yesterday.

Morning light is early enough, and it is now warm enough, so I can finally get back to my regular early morning pre-breakfast exercise rides. w00t, as texters would say...
Edit: Firefox has issues with "pre-breakfast", and as one of the options, suggests replacing it with "pee-breakfast". I seriously question Firefox's built-in spellchecker...

Finally got out for my first ride of the season today. It was overcast but around 60 and the roads are now dry enough to do a short ride with the road bike. Been riding the rollers all winter so it wasn't like starting from zero but boy what a difference from riding indoors! Turing cold again tomorrow with some light snow in the forecast so back inside for awhile.

High 70's today so I did a 32 mile ride in the flat, open area between the rivers north of St Charles. As I was leaving the parking lot I noticed the flag in front of the Coca Cola plant and assumed I'd have a tailwind on the return route - WRONG!

Saturday last, got to I think 83,, humidity was on the rise.
My body was like,, Oh yeah baby !
All I need to do Is properly hydrate the day before, the morning of and during the ride, I never have any heat Issues.
The hotter the better.
