February rides

Wonderful news, Pax. It may not be perfect, but being able to ride at all vs. not ride is priceless!

... It may not be perfect, but being able to ride at all vs. not ride is priceless!

Couldn't have said it, better. I'm at an age where I really do wonder how long I will be able to continue riding as much as I do. It's something I will never take for granted, believe me. I admire you, greatly, Pax, for keeping the spirit. Go, girl.

Ten miles of fat biking out on our thawing snowpack on paved roads, today, then tried some trail work. Not good, though. Even the fat bikes stall out when the crust gives way and the bike sinks into a foot of snow, underneath. Will try, again, tomorrow, before the temps get warm enough to soften the crust.

The past two days have been windy (especially yesterday) and HOT -- highs in the 80s. It's nice leaving at the start of a ride with the temps already above 70, but they get very warm very fast. Orlando might hit 90 tomorrow, which would be a tie for the record. Fortunately, another cool front comes through after that. These temps are unusual for February; weatherman says it's been more like May this week. Not acclimated to this yet!

At the end of February, I'm up to 951 miles on the year. Had hoped to hit 1000, but Feb. is just too short a month! Still, off to a good start on the year!

Have been so depressed with our weather I haven't dared comment . I rode 2 times in February which is 2 x's more than January, sigh. Spring can't arrive soon enough.

Glad to hear some of you are getting out and about. Friends of ours just headed to Texas for a month, so jealous.

It's winter in Montreal...and pouring rain right now...but -10c tomorrow. So everything will be frozen and slippery. Not a typical winter for sure but it is what it is. Viva home trainers to keep our legs moving! I have no more snow on my grass..but water puddles that will turn into an ice rink in the morning. My poor dogs.

But hey! It's March 1st! In a month it will be April. yeah!

Yes... the thunderstorm front will be moving through here later. It's in the 60F range now, humid and cloudy. But, no fear, it's going to be in the single digits overnight on Friday and Saturday.
However, it looks like next week, I will be able to get some regular riding in, with temperatures in the 50s.

Started out this morning at almost 60, now it's 45 headed to 28; really need to see some sunshine and blue sky, and have this danged wind stop! We've had 25mph winds for a couple of weeks non-stop, not only is it cold and annoying, it swirls up all the allergens.
