weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm riding on summer tires now and I feel like I'm riding the wiiiiiiiiiiiind....
I find myself pedalling in time to and nodding to the music on my earbuds, grooving along this one long stretch of bike path, making approaching cyclists look at me and grin The balaclavas have all gone so we can actually see each others faces. Nothing like SPRING!
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I rode in to work today, but immediately hopped on Metro and head into the District so I could give platelets at the Red Cross. It's about a 4 block walk from the nearest station to the apheresis center. I was amazed at the number of cyclists riding downtown today.
Cool.

The ride in was in the 30's, the ride home was not much warmer, but with a 30+ mph headwind. There were seriously times when I could have crawled faster than I was pedaling my bike.
Oh well- frost tonight and hopefully this will be the last of it... hopefully.Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

It had to be 85º when I left work tonight! It's only April! Crazy. Had a good tailwind home again. I'm going to get spoiled.

The longer daylight hours are allowing me to ride 35 miles after work. Am getting a headstart on building my mileage for the spring/summer months. I'm loving these warm temps.
