It is official. the start of what I call "cooler by the lake" season. That is when all the weather forecasters are crowing about how it's going to hit, gasp, 65 today!! And I get all excited and keep going outside wondering where the 65 is and why it still feels cold out... oh yeah, it's another cooler by the lake day. When I went out riding in the afternoon the radio said it was 54 by the lake. By the time I got home I am guessing it was 48-51ish. I was out about 2.5 hours. The ride north was great. The ride south felt like it was into a strong wind so it wasn't quite as much fun. Yesterday was more fun, when the wind felt like it was always in my favor. My knees hurt afer riding both days so I may have overdone it a little.
I'm looking forward to my first off-road ride of the season, which will probably be Rock Cut.
The funniest thing to me both days this weekend was the wide range of clothing I saw. I saw tween girls in shorts, flip flops, and tank tops, at the same time I was noticing that my toes were getting cold in spite of my booties! I saw shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops everywhere in various combinations, even though it was 54ish. And walking down the street near the younger people wearing minimal clothes, or half summer/half spring clothes, I saw other people wearing layers, even down jackets, including one with a fake fur collar. I did see one guy riding in shorts and short sleeves, too. It's transition season, for sure.

i'm afraid it looks like Rock Cut will be delayed... ;(. We should have some kind of ride/get together that day instead!
Sounds like a fun idea! Why do you think the race is off? trail conditions? I went to the web site, it mentioned the rain date but I didn't see any other info.
oh, and April 19th is the date those Death Cab tix go on sale....
last i heard trails at rock cut are still closed, so i assume it'll be pushed back, especially with snow and rain all week. let's hope, though...
