Early Spring In Chicagoland
#1

It was sunny in the upper 60's here on February 17th.  Pretty amazing.  Today it's 59 and sunny and the overnight rain washed all the junk off the road.

I have a nasty head cold and cannot ride.  

That is all.

Bummer Sea, its 64 here now. Just finished shoveling what was left of the 4' piles of snow at the edges of my driveway from plowing all winter. Soon as I finish sweating, I'll suit up and go ride some miles for you

It doesn't matter what I ride, how far or how fast, only that I ride .... every day
