After a week of record cold or close to it today’s 64 degrees, cloudless skies and light breeze were too much to resist. All I could muster this week was two windtrainer sessions so getting the 43.37 miles in today was a breathe of fresh air even if it was a little chilly. I did see a few other riders out on SR242 so I was not the only rider succumbing to the call to ride. I was dressed warmly enough with two long sleeve jerseys, windbreaker jacket, leg warmers and full finger gloves. I could feel the cool temperature whenever I moved through the shadows but the body heat was able to keep me warm. I was thinking earlier this week of riding the Pedaling to the Prairie ride in Waller but the 30 degrees at 7:30AM stopped that.

Next week’s weather is supposed to be much warmer. I hope so because I would like to ride the Humble Lion’s Club ride on Saturday.

• February month to date miles 109.6
• YTD miles 327.59

Both of these are pretty low for this time of the year but this crazy weather has slowed me down.
