…time for Spring Cleaning!

Started with a nice ride this morning and was just told I have to leave work at 5:30 so might also do a post work ride.

I welcome you spring, now lets up the degrees.

Here in NW Arizona it's still not that warm. Might see 70's next week but the lows are still in the 40's. I've only lived here since August but the locals tell me that one day in the next few weeks it'll be really warm then hot and will stay that way until October until one day it's cold. Not much in between here.

My struggle is do I clean my 2 Winter bikes now before storing or clean off the Fall muck from the summer bikes first!
Temperature is still around freezing mark overnight so I’m reluctant on using my hose/drain for washing.

You trying to troll everyone?

It was 25 this morning.

Going to get to mid 40s though so I'm hoping to ride.

It's not really time to clean bikes here yet though. Still some melting snow and lots of sand and salt on the roads, with plenty of rain on the way.

Meh, pretty soon it will be 95-100 during the day and 80 at night. Weekend rides by May roll at 0500 to beat the heat. This part of AZ is really consistent, no random 80 degree days followed by 50's the next day. It's cool or cold until it isn't. We had record snow this winter, the desert is pretty green right now.

I'm looking forward to doing a spirited group ride this evening. First evening group ride of the season for me. Time to see if ZERO miles on Zwift has paid off as I hoped.

azrider · #11 03-20-2019, 11:05 AM

I ALMOST turned the AC on yesterday..................ALMOST

cmg · #12 03-20-2019, 11:43 AM

days in the 70s, lows in the 40s. spring is usually pretty short, it'll ramp up pretty quick.

johnmdesigner · #13 03-20-2019, 01:43 PM

No riding today but I replanted Mom, Pop and the kids. They all seem happy.

Clean39T · #14 03-20-2019, 02:15 PM

It's low-70s in Portland today. Srsly. Not sure that's a good thing..

Windy AF tho.

Matthew · #15 03-20-2019, 02:21 PM

It's snowing as I look out the window. The forecast a few days ago called for 50's this weekend and maybe even 60 Monday. Revised forecast has upper 30's Saturday and maybe mid 40's Monday. May hit mid 50's a week from tomorrow. Not holding my breath. Got close to 60 last week now everyone is sick. Yay.
