I’m riding my bike outside today!

Just felt like shouting it because I’m so freakin happy for decent weather today. That is all.

You said it! I may be Canadian, but I'm in southern Ontario where we're not accustomed to the relentlessly Arctic deep freeze this side of the continent has been trapped under since Christmas.

But today, she has broke. It's sunny, warm and above freezing. Wuhoo!

Hello, bike. How ya been? Feel like...going for a ride?

Add me to the list too everyone, first ride in over a week today for me. I did 25 miles, and might go back out after an early dinner and knock out another 25, too.

I rode a couple of days ago 40F a few hours before the snow started. Supposed to be nice the weekend; I'm hoping enough of the slush and salt clear off the road.

As an aside BTW, here in the "upper south" they go bats**t crazy with salt now anytime there's a threat of any kind of snow/sleet etc. Most of the time the precipitation doesn't match the volume of salt put out and you have to wait for a good rain to wash it all away.

Post ride report.....windy af but man was that nice.

Had a friend join in who I haven’t ridden with in ages. I was excited to see him as we were always pretty even despite the one foot height difference between us.

Turns out he has undergone a radical transformation in diet (nearly vegan) and lost forty pounds!

Had my arse handed to me until nearly the end of our ride when I guess my fat reserves kicked in. What fun.

It’s got me rethinking my eating/ cooking habits....but that is for another thread.
