Ok, so maybe I was a bit anxious to get on the mountain bike trails. Maybe I did take off my studded mountain bike tires and put on the regular trail tires. Maybe I have been road riding and maybe I have taken off my fenders. Maybe I have even started to organize my short sleeved biking jerseys. Maybe I have been a bit overexcited about bike season really starting. Maybe.
BUT I AM NOT TO BLAME FOR SNOW IN THE FORECAST.
It is NOT MY FAULT.

Not My Fault
The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew--and live through it.

AHHHHHHHHH. Just when you finally think its spring in New England, winter returns. I've been riding outside in the nice weather and now its cold and raw again. I hate going back to indoors on the trainer. Maybe we should invoke the anti snow dance again.

Forget that it's really snow and take the mind set that it's just sand kicked up from the street... wipe it from your glasses pull your hat/helmut down a little tighter, pump the pistons faster. Before you know it... the snow is melted and you're half way through your ride...(good thing this isn't last year-the feedback then would have been to put a pot of tea on the stove, throw a dvd of the Tour- and watch for inspiration)..... tomorrow's another opportunity...

I'm worried to take my fenders off my road bike for the same reason. I'm sure that if I do it it's going to start pouring rain....

Well, according our a bike group that I belong to, it is all ME! Maybe the two of us combined has forced this back on us. Originally Posted by Cella66

Add me to the list of people to blame. Club's first TT of the season is supposed to be this Weds, and I have a brand new TT bike waiting to be tested...

Tellegirl and Cella66,
If you can slow global warming - you go girls! I know, I know, you want spring to spring, but here I am in the southern latitudes and I really don't want sea level to rise. Really don't want the Big Easy to drown, again. So lets hear it for a spring snow!
Care to come down for JazzFest? We have a really nice bike path on the Mississippi River levee. And pollen, take your pick of flavors - oak, pine, flowers. Ah ah aah CHUUU!Beth

SheFly, do you do the TT that leaves from Lowell Rd. and Barret's Mill?
I'll come watch one of these weeks (my son used to do it).
Robyn (sorry for the hijack)

Yes - that's the one! I think I'll pass this week (BTW Sunday River claims 2-4" of S*** today Originally Posted by Robyn Maislin
