Dependable Weather
The past couple of mornings have brought temperatures in the 30′s. I like it when I am heading out on to the road, just getting my cadence going, can see my breath, and feel the cold on my face. There is just no better way to start my day.
Fall/winter weather looks like it finally has arrived. I am not a person who complains about weather, but the past month has been a bumpy transition from very mild almost early spring like temperatures to fall and winter temps. Attempting to plan what clothing to wear on a long bike ride can be problematic and I can end up carrying along an assortment of clothing for the changing conditions.
Maybe the lack of dependable weather is why my mileage drops a little during the fall. Now that the days of rain and cold are becoming the norm I can get back into consistent riding. I love riding in the winter. Bikes are fun.
I agree with you, I had a great ride in the damp, cold, misty autumn weather this morning, and biking is really great fun.
