Spring - when do you get back outside?

[Bike Writer]

I'm with you. I'm just plain angry at the weather at this point.

Yeah, that's how I'd describe it. Angry. We are supposed to have a fresh blanket overnight by morning. 2 things:
1) thankful I don't depend on weather to earn a living.
2) thankful I am not west or south of where I live because instead of just a covering, those places are going to get dumped on big time 12" to 15" inches of fresh snow.

If we got that much snow at this late date on the calendar I'd bypass angry and go straight to "nuts"

We got 6.2 inches last night and they even closed my office building for non-essential workers until 1pm. I am SO over this cr*p! I am whining and complaining about this and am not the least ashamed over it. Sigh...guess I've been spoiled in recent years. Thankful for the intense group training at the gym or I would be even more pis**d off about out. Fat lot of good that would do me...

I am with all of you in the weather complaint area. I am on Long Island and if it wasn't snow or rain it was the major wind that kept me off the bike. I got a couple of leisure rides on my fitness bike but only 1 road bike ride which was last weekend. Maybe it is mind over matter but March has been horrible. I sure hope it turns around for the better in April. I can't wait any longer to begin leading the club rides that begin at 8am UGH!!!

Well, I pledged to ride every day in April - just for the fun & to challenge myself - as part of 30 Days of Biking. http://30daysofbiking.com/
So come rain or shine (please good Mother Earth, no more snow!) I'll go for a ride.

missjean, you talked me into it. I pledged too.

30 days cycling in April. I have a lot of miles to make up. Great idea, thank you for posting!!!!

I like the idea of 30 cycling days in April, too. I'd love to have that as a goal. Realistically, we get quite a lot of rain in April, often with thunder and lightning so if it's dangerous it won't happen. But barring that, it certainly doesn't hurt to try. I'm just so ready for spring to get here, although I did have a lot of fun playing in the snow yesterday. But now I'm ready for it to be gone!

It was sunny and about 73 today. I got in 57.3 miles and A LOT of hills. Can't decide now between margarita or merlot.

I signed the pledge yesterday. I'm in! Now let's just hope we don't see snow. I got a head start with a ride yesterday, today and will go out tomorrow too.
