    Warm weather dried up the roads & paved paths.
    Time for a bike ride
    Dressed warm, balaclava down to insulated boots & gloves.:shiver:

    20 mile ride, slow average but it got the blood pumping :)
    Into the wind was like riding up hill.
    Hit near 35 mph down hill with the wind :thumbs:

    No way am I riding with you Dave. I'll wait for warmer weather.

    Today we passed a fellow out riding and the temperature was 40 with light rain. Pure crazyness.

    Speaking of crazy, there is a man attempting to break the record for miles in a year. I know he is over 65,000 miles so far this year but can't seem to remember what the record is right now. Probably could find it on untramarathon.com
