Nice to get out riding in March after a snowy winter. The rivers are high and some places are flooded but it feels great to get out into the sun and wind. However, the spring weather has been colder than normal. Oh well, it could be worse. THe summer was great offering many good biking days. I also completed a successful 1080 mile bike tour from the Twin Cities to Pittsburgh, PA in September. Very fun and challenging. One other major accomplishment this season is an all time high riding distance in a single season. Being retired helps.
