always a challenge but I like them because it feels like nature in this sprawl .

But the switch from my studded tires to high pressure slicks makes biking a lot more enjoyable. Last week I put the Thule Bike Rack back on my car so I take my bike with me. Hope you have fun biking this summer.

Hi,
Glad you have been able to get out. I ride most every day, think my coldest was -17 wind chill. I actually like riding in the winter better. My optimal ride weather is low 30s and sun. But yes, it is warming up here and always have to deal with the wind here too.

Peace

....and I did everything by bike, year-round. But I lived in a much better climate. I always loved riding in the winter because I had a great trail system and usually had the trails to myself.

But here, there are no trails and no biking infrastructure. How I've missed riding over the cold, crappy winter. I also didn't want to get road salt on my bike, so I rode my trainer inside all winter. But I did pretty well - I'm in fine cycling condition still, which surprises me. No soreness, no starting slow. But nothing beats riding outside.
