I just did fifty miles with the sun shining and 45F with no snow on the roads and no cross winds! Awesome thing to behold!

A fix is the best was to beat withdrawals.
Today, it's supposed to be in the mid-40s. I'm riding to work!
Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 40s as well. Since I'm not working, a nice long ride will be on my agenda.

John, you got that right! Did an 85 mile ride today. Most of the sand is gone around here but there are still some spots just to keep you on your toes. Tomorrow should be great! Have fun!

Still putting salt & sand on the roads here in the Great White North. Spring is at least 2 months away. Have ridden in January before, but not this year. We have 41cm of snow on the ground. Ride safe if you ride guys.

I got my fix today too with sunshine and relatively dry roads. I couldn't believe how eager the Uly was to start at around 35 degrees and after sitting two months.
