I managed to get some nice March rides at the start the season. April startd out cold but that provides incentive to ride hard. By mid-April the weather is much nicer - lots of sunshine. By the end of July the weather id cool and great for biking, but we're also in a drought here in the Twin Cities. Also, I was laid off from Eivia at the end of June but now have a new position with Thomson Reuters - started August 3. In early October, after a wonderful biking season, it starting getting cold and the snow came early. At least I managed to ride more than 4000 miles.
