Weather turned, short summer this year
I had to battle strong winds for a week, and they blew in a turn in the weather. Riding conditions were pretty good this year, once the cold broke in mid-May.( My avatar photo was taken mid-May! ) But now... This is the shortest "summer" in the 10 years since I took up cycling in '03! I have some nice cold weather gear to extend my riding, but I work in a meat shop and working in cold makes it hard for me to ride in cold. I do enjoy hiking and snow shoeing in the winter, but the "shoulder" seasons I struggle to stay active. 31º this morning, my day off, but I plan to ride for a couple hours. Walking past the snow shoes in the garage has me excited for when I can do that again, soon.
