Did 58 miles yesterday, almost all on the Legacy trail. I took the velo, since the weather this time of year is highly....variable... and the velo has a much wider comfort range for both wind and temps.

By 6 pm (I got home around 3), the wind was howling so hard I wouldn't even want to be driving in it.

Jim - yep we got some magnolias going on up here on Rt 38...

Boston - another storm rolling in Sunday night into Monday ... not technically a Nor'Easter ... more like a "South-Wester..." at least it will bring with it warmer temps and a little humidity ...

I was hoping I'd be done with the below freezing rides by now, but nope. UV Index of 5, with balaclava temperatures is an annoying combination, requiring the use of sunscreen to prevent a weird facial tan. Real spring might arrive by next weekend. The last week of March was far better than all of April so far.

Not a fan of spring, come to Minneapolis, we do not really know what spring is.

This is Easter Day (Apr 12, 2020)



edit - for the record, it was 60F the day before ... so there's that.

April 18th here, Boston is getting a "coating to 6 inches" of heavy wet snow flakes. Here in my neck of the woods, it is accumulating (slightly) on the grass and melting on contact with the pavement.

Grim and grimmer ... the next two weeks are scheduled for scattered showers

The roads look ok and I’ll bet the few inches would be ok w/o studs off road. If I wasn’t nursing a knee I’d be out there

Finally warm here but 3 days in a row of diabolical wind. Double digit celsius temps all this week, but wind up to 40-50 km/h (which is an improvement over today). Time to take the winter tires off 1 bike and 2 vehicles. Hauling the Venza tires out of the basement and carrying the winter ones back down is quite the workout.

To be honest ... I didn't know and had to look it up: Minneapolitan I just we don't use the term very often around here.

Nice, albeit short Spring with beautiful blossoms and that first few weeks of relief from Winter; glorious summer; cool crispy Autumn with colorful foliage; and even a bracing, and challenging Winter, but not one impossible to ride in.
This short, sometimes fleeting Spring is noted by several natural and social mileposts: the first crocuses, Red Sox Opening Day (cancelled), the Comm Ave magnolias, The Boston Marathon (postponed until September),subsequent blossoming trees and flowers; and spring is firmly established by the second Sunday in May with the tens of thousands-strong Walk for Hunger (cancelled).


Today is May 2, the second Saturday in May, and an absolutely gorgeous Spring day.

In my mind I have described a distinct season of the finest Boston weather, that I call “Leg Season”:

May 9th and what can only be described as a freak round of cold Arctic air and non-accumulating snow showers up here in Rt 38 Boston. With a "cold snap" into the mid 40s by day, low 30s by night.

So I guess that Arctic Oscillation that kept the polar vortex out of here all winter finally cracked - in May - and sent us what is hopefully a final blast of cold weather

By mid July we will be reminiscing about how much we miss the lower temperatures.

Still, would it hurt if Boston got to warm up just a little? Please?

In 2004 when the Red Sox won the first World Series since 1912, Boston had defeated the “Curse of the Bambino (Babe Ruth)” who had been previously traded to the Yankees to satisfy a debt.

Have we unleashed a new demon upon ourselves by postponing the Boston Marathon and/or cancelling the Walk for Hunger, thus delaying Leg Season?

We did about 20 miles. All in all it was a great day to be in the saddle.
The OP does not indicate his location, but I think it would be amusing to post your ride description on that thread to show BF how hardy we Metro Bostonians are, and rebut those sunny-faced cyclists' patronizing attitudes,e.g.especially with a chilly photo of the bare trees.

My local club used to do a Mother’s Day ride. I can’t tell you how many times the ride was a cold wintery ride. No one along the Front Range in Colorado plants anything until after Mother’s Day. Even then, it can be dicey.

Silverton, high in the San Juan mountains, has a rhubarb festival in August because that’s about the only thing they can grow up there.

don't mind hearing from Californians. reminds me when we took the kids to San Fran one March for a friends party. I was walking barefoot on green grass in shorts & a t-shirt. we rented bikes & rode the bridge across the Golden Straight to Sausalito & took the ferry back, at one point, I even took my shirt off, which my son criticized. some day he'll understand. back home, schools closed due to a blizzard & we had to dig the car out of the airport parking lot in Boston. it was fun in the sun, knowing it was so deifferent back home

Personally. I'm very happy cycling in Metro Boston, and have posted an informal Cycling Guide to Metro Boston (link) that would make a nice hub and spoke tour...It may seem parochial, but I think the cycling around here is great.

One can be in scenic countryside within about one hour from downtown, while passing through an interesting, compact urban and suburban scene. Furthermore you can extend your range with a convenient Commuter Rail that allows fully-assembled bikes during off-peak hours. In Spring through Fall it’s a temperate climate.


Besides the cycling, Boston is such a popular tourist destination that there will always be something interesting to do off the bike…culture, nightlife, sports and so forth...

If you’ve never been here before, the experience may be even more…epic.
In any case as I had previously posted,

One closer alternative to happy year-round riding IMO are the East Coast states of Virginia to Georgia

I posted the most recent entry to this thread on 5/10/20, 9:05 AM; it is now 5/17/20, about 10:30 AM. IMO. a one-week hiatus on the Winter Cycling Forum signals the end of Winter.
