March sun isn't very warm, but, even though it's not above freezing, it's still slowly eating away at the snow. Needed tonight's ride to get rid of some stress. It helped. 20/14.0

Hard Act
Trails better. Spent less time on the road. Evil is as tough as they come. Tried to bunny hop a major pot hole. Caught the edge with the rear wheel. Evil wanted more...not phased at all. I was fine too, although a little jarred. 20/13.8

It Always Pays Off
I was a bit worried that my streak might come to an end today. A foot of snow is not easy to navigate, but the plows had been out and I was able to get her in. Some of the paths that I ride during the winter hadn't been cleared, so I just jumped on the street and and let Evil's carbide tips chatter along the asphalt. The cars seemed surprisingly accepting of my presence.
Sun was setting as I finished up and I was treated to a splendid view along the tracks by my place. 20/12.4

Ugh Winter
The weekend miles lingered in the old hairy body today. And, apparently, winter has developed a bit of an attitude; cold and snow today with the promise of more snow tonight. Not happy. Rode Evil. 20/12.4

Perfect
One of those nice days...real simple but just the stuff that makes life perfect. Started the day with an easy 40 mile ride with Amy, just talked and rode. 40/14.6
Hung out with Elijah this afternoon. When I dropped him off he said, "hey grandpa, you forgot something". I asked "what?" He said, "you forgot to tickle me". I took care of that fast.
Stopped by Ethan's and saw my other grandkids, then Ethan and I went out for dinner...talked for over 3 hours.
A priceless day. Very nice.

More Spring
Opted for Frankenbike. Thicker tires, more rubber on the road, 15 degree start temp, anticipated sloppiness on the 2nd half of the ride all ganged up on the Cannondale and kept it home.
A good group of us and lots of sun...that was so nice. There be plenty of rollers out there near the St. Croix River, and we took them on. It had the feel of a road ride. Longest and fastest ride of the year for me. Felt Great! 63/15.9

Most Of
Days off are good for something. Grabbed the Cannondale, its computer was in sleep mode that's how long it's been since I moved it. I gave it a good look at, and cleaned it up a little. Thinkin' I might ride it Saturday. Gonna try to put 65 miles on. Hope the old hairy legs are up to it.
