Warmer weather is only a day away.

The weather forecast is projecting 60 degrees for Sunday and upper 70's a good chunk of next week. I won't be missing the cooler temps and layering for my rides. Went and did a light rolling 25 miles, and even checked out the bike path. The first section of the path was ride-able but I was soon hiking thru the snow for most of it. I am so looking forward to the warmer temps rolling in. Here's a glimpse of my fun today.

I did a charity ride yesterday, and finished the ride around 10:30 in the morning.

It was already 80ish when I finished.

We hit the low 70s F here in NE Ohio today, which was nice, after an inch of snow on Friday. 🙄 Darn weather is really getting weird, these days. 🤔 😉 But I finally got some new sneakers today, lol, and rode the bike to go get them. 😎

Agree on the warmer weather. Rode a metric on Sat. and it was in the mid 40's at the start, but had warmed up to the high 60's by the time we got finished. Weather here in North Florida has been really strange.

Warmer weather is HERE!

It got up to 35F yesterday. Here that qualifies for warmer weather. Here's a pic from yesterdays ride. Started out at 24F and ended around 35F. I don't ride when it gets to 80F...

Love that mountain goat pic. Just don't antagonize him. 😁 It was 37 F when I got up this morning, with a projected high of 55 F. Good thing I cut the grass yesterday. But it's been nice, and today's just a low point, to keep us humble. 😉

Just for the record... it's a Dall Sheep, a ewe. Nothing I could do would result in me getting close(r) to that sheep. No danger from this stranger. Dunno about goat behaviour but these sheep are simply sheepish.
