What was a sunny warm day then a few days ago has turned into a wet Storm Nelson.

M_Six · 03-30-2024, 12:30 PM

30 miler yesterday. Windy, but tolerable. Not so today. 25MPH with gusts in the 30MPH range. Too windy for me.

M_Six · 03-31-2024, 04:55 PM

Near perfect weather today. Sunny, upper 60's(F), some wind, but not enough to be a pain. Felt great the whole ride.

M_Six · 04-09-2024, 06:01 PM

Another 30 miler. 80F temps coming this weekend, so it's getting to be prime riding weather.

12 mile out and back ride. Weather is finally here!

Steady head wind on the ride out. Crosswind on the way back! >:\

Felt good to get a longer ride in.

M_Six · 04-14-2024, 05:53 PM

Had that today, too. Killer head wind going west, sweet ride coming back east. Yesterday was better with only a mild breeze. Good riding weekend, though.

Wind has been kicking my a@@ here over the past two day. But got out there and got it done.

M_Six · 04-15-2024, 03:47 PM

Chamber of Commerce weather here today. Went out and did 25 miles.

M_Six · Yesterday, 04:39 PM

Nice day here with low wind. I took advantage and stretched it out to 50 miles.

Spent the bulk of the winter riding the single speed which is also code for cycling to pubs around the city.

But, also was tweaking the geared bike to be a little more comfortable for long rides. Finally got it for a short ride last night. New shoes, new seat and ditched my clips for a set of MB pedals, I doubt my group is going to notice the .2 mph performance loss I'm losing on my upstroke.

The little State Undefeated bike is way more mellow now but still can get into the twenties as long as I can keep it there.
