I was just thinking about that. We've had several weeks of winds mostly coming from the east, northeast and east north east (what a geek) in April. They seem to be a milder, but still cold version of the westerly winds we get sometimes in the winter, when temperature can drop very low.

When riding on days like today, I convince myself to be happy it's above 30. It kinda works. I can dig riding in the rain and wind as long as I got all my waterproof gear (geekdom galore).

I only saw three runners and one biker on my way to work this morning. Is it because of that sucky weather? . . .

Is it my imagination or does it really feel like a spring day?

I pass a bike shop on my way to work each morning.  It has a sign "Spring is nearly here, get a tune up for your bike!"

 

I want to change the sign to "Spring is here, get on your bike!"

Lovin' that sunshine. I'm still unsure of how to dress appropriately. Yesterday, overheated. Today, kind too cold. I must be colder than most. I still have to wear a hat with ear flaps and a gaitor/gator. I saw a dude walking around in flip flops!

I do think different folks have different cold/hot thresholds.  I still gear up with a gaitor and gloves in this weather. I'm not complaining--just aware that I have to fend off the chill deeper in the season than, say, flip flop dude.  When others start to wilt in the 80's, that's when I am just starting to take my jacket off. Regardless, today I was loving the sun and green.

It was a very wet but overall nice ride this morning. I rode today in the kind of cold, nasty pounding rain and against some horrid headwind going southbound on Lincoln Avenue at 7:00- 7:45 am.  When I got to work, everyone stared at my soaking wet form and gaped in awe as I proudly rolled my bicycle inside the office.  I was soaking wet from the waist down (I hate rain pants) and probably looked like a drowned rat from the neck up. What was even better, after I dried off, changed clothes, and fixed my hair all in under 10 minutes, my co-workers seemed to be in awe at how well I could go from soaking wet biker to professional office worker so quickly.  I felt really good about that. It truly is a Good Friday for me!

Funny, despite how windy, cold and rainy and unprepared I was today, I knew the second I got to work i wouldn't even think about it....
