No snow here, just rain and 40 degree variations in temperature from day to day. I try to get out and ride on the good days but the company that I work for is overworked and understaffed so I have been working a lot too. This situation is taking a toll on my mileage log, but at least I'm saving ink.

It was 90 today, and the forecast calls for 95 tomorrow. I thought I saw a cloud on my ride today, but it ended up just being a smudge on my glasses from the sweat dripping off my head.

Finally I can challenge Alienator. Beautiful day here, 95km ride on Saturday and very large lunch on Sunday. Perfect weekend.

I'm jealous of you. Raining through much of the weekend here (and still raining today) with the attendant cool (but not cold) temperatures. I suppose that this is still better than the hot AZ weather.

You guys are spoiled if you think 16-18 C = cold! Ah, if only we had such weather here...

It actually snowed a bit here. I still had sweat dripping off my head. Crazy mixed up weather.

Funny thing, Rome is about as far north of the equator as Chicago. I think we got a little gyped.

The advantage of the Gulf Stream. If not for this, much of Europe (especially the north) would be much more inhospitable.

Fiiiiinally spring is here, and I'm thousands of kilometers behind all you guys. The
trails are muddy, and the roads are in terrible shape. Oh well, still better than cycling a hundred years ago, I think.
