Reply With QuoteSnow? Riding in snow? Nuts. I won't even ride in a strong wind. Yes, it was warm-ish here... but the wind was miserable.Originally Posted by SheFly

I had the oddest day of riding ever.
Started out on the trainer for 2 hours. I knew I wouldn't get in enough time outside to meet my scheduled 4.5 hours. Logged 32 miles.
Boyfriend picked me up and we went to meet a group for a ride. Rode 1.5 hours outside. Terrified the whole time. The wind was blowing really strong. After being blown off my bike 2 weeks ago, I'm not too keen on strong crosswinds these days. Only logged 18 miles as I was too scared to ride over 12 mph the whole time.
We ate lunch, chatted... drove home... and I napped in the car.
Once home I got on the trainer for another hour. Logged 17 miles.
Total miles- 67 across 3 different rides.

Well, I've only been out on my road bike once this year and it wasn't yesterday. We did have snow in the morning as per SheFly's report, but it turned to rain and cleared up by noon. I was sick all week and ended up staying home Friday and going to the doctor because when I came home Thursday I had a 101 fever and I never get fevers. I couldn't get the fever down Thursday night, even with Advil. Got an antibiotic and was feeling better by late Friday night, but I have decided to play it safe and not over do it. I did my yoga for cyclists dvd yesterday and my PT mandated stretches. Today is 38 degrees for the high and we are going on a hike. I know if I sucked the cold air in on my bike, I would be sick again. My goal is to ride on Tuesday.
I just decided that I want to do a spring century on May 18th. It's mostly flat and rolling, but this is the least prepared I have ever been for the season.
At least I have a goal.
