By this time last year, this weather weenie had logged three rides at bikejournal.com (no snickering from you commuters, racers, or triathletes). I did note that the weather was overcast on one of the rides, but I also remember that the first ride I did in March was gloriously beautiful.

I've lived in the DC area my entire life (over 43 years) and I never paid much attention to what the weather was like from year to year, until I went and got "serious" about cycling. I've always had issues with overcast days (S.A.D., perhaps?), but it's gotten to the point that waiting through February, March, and now April, for a non-windy, non-rainy, over 50 degree day so I can go out and ride just kills me.

Go ahead and call me a weenie, Zen.
