I managed to get some nice March rides at the start the season.
April startd out cold but that provides incentive to ride hard.
By mid-April the weather is much nicer - lots of sunshine.
By the end of July the weather id cool and great for biking,
but we're also in a drought here in the Twin Cities. Also, I was
laid off from Eivia at the end of June but have a new position
at Thomson Reuters starting August 3. Now it's early October
and ater a wonderful biking season it's getting cold and snow
is coming early. At least I manage to ride more than 4000 miles.
