Anyone?
I think yesterday may have been my last outdoor ride of the year. It's snowing now, although it is supposed to warm over the night and turn to rain. Roads have been salted/sanded, so the Kuota is going on the trainer tomorrow. DH plans to do the yearly maintenance on the Gurus over the next 2 weeks, in the hope we do get out on the road between now and March 1. Of course, if we actually get some decent snow, I won't care, because I'll be x country skiing.
Did a hair under 20 yesterday. It was sunny and about 40 degrees, just on the edge of being too warm for my Assos jacket. But, I wore it. Did one of the flatter rides I can do, and it was nice. Lots of cyclists out.
Today, DH and I were going out to sign papers for his new car and we saw a cyclist near our house in the icy pellets/snow flurries. He was on a road bike with fenders and probably 25 cm tires, but it didn't look too safe. Hopefully, he was heading home, because the snow got a bit heavier as the day progressed, although it's stopped now.

Wooooohooooo I got in an almost 90 minute ride today with no saddle problems :) Yesterday I got in about 45 minutes on the trainer. no riding < trainer < riding outside :)

No snow yet here, at all. Today the high was around 54, winter really hasn't arrived here yet outside of a few nights that have dropped down into the 20's. We've had a couple of weeks with temps in the high 30's but nothing like what I've come to expect for December in central Indiana.
