OK, I *finally* got out on the road today. Not far, and not fast by intention, but it was awesome. I have to say, this is the "snowiest" first ride of the year I've had, except for the year I took my mountain bike out on the road a few days after a blizzard in February. It felt a little weird to be dodging the snow by the side of the road in a couple of places. But, at 47 degrees and partly sunny, we are in the range of temperatures that I really like for riding (between 45 and 55).
I might get a ride in on Wednesday, but otherwise, starting Friday, I will be out there all weekend,.
