On this fine spring day, the warmth with touch of humidity this am was a welcome relief. Alas, it's not going to last.....

Good for you to be in shorts!

I ride from north. I didn't even mind the 15mph steady headwind given the temperature. Also looking forward to the alleged 20mph tailwind heading home.

My arms are sunburned from the mid afternoon 40 mile rides I did this weekend. Got the glove tan going on already.

Saturday afternoon seemed crazy busy, I think everyone pulled their bikes out of the garage at the same time.

I took the snow tires off the car, so I'm apologizing now for the snow on Wednesday.

Sounds like great weather for a spring classics ride,
embro & arm warmers, you're good to go.



Cincy 79f sunday, snow tuesday.

Some guys wore shorts on the Grumpy Grind yesterday, but it's snowing here right now.

It's hard for me to even imagine that kind of weather. My pool water is 85 today with the help of the solar system. However.....when you guys are enjoying your wonderful summers, I'll be getting out at 7 AM and back at 9-10 AM to avoid the opressive heat. Then in the pool.

I made the decision almost 50 years ago to not live in the cold. Never been sorry for that decision. Do miss your summers sometimes. I'm originally from NC mountains. Very depressing winters. Life can be good about every where most of year.

Friday afternoon was not bad. Sunny for the most part and in the 60's. It was the NW headwind coming across still frozen lakes that made a chilling effect. Still needed long sleeves and leg warmers. Only 30's and 40's the rest of the week, that sucks. Hope the weekend beats the weather prediction.

Your tail wind home is gonna be huge. You may only have to peddle every 100 yards. I was getting blown around on my lunch ride big time and the head wind home required extra efforts.

Couple of scary side gusts, but otherwise, easy street riding home!
