On the whole, it's been a mild winter, so far, in this part of the world. Last Saturday was, thus far, the coldest day of the season: The day dawned clear, at -10C (14F). I rode nonetheless. After that, the temperature rose a few degrees each day until it reached 15C (60F) yesterday afternoon.
That meant, of course, a ride to Point Lookout
the day after a ride to Connecticut. The funny thing is that on both rides, I saw little traffic, whether from cyclists or motorized vehicles. I think I encountered more strangers shouting "Nice day for a ride" than actual cyclists along yesterday's ride!
Between those two rides, and some other riding I did during the week, I managed to do 600 kilometers (385 miles) from last Monday until yesterday. I don't think I've ridden that much in one week in February in years. Heck, that's even a good week during peak riding season.
Maybe the groundhog's prediction was correct after all. Or, perhaps, we'll get a March (or April?!) blizzard. Anyway, I hope to keep up my riding: It and my writing (off this blog) are helping me to keep whatever sanity I may have.
