We’re almost halfway through April and today I did my first ride this month! Actually, it was my first ride since March 28. That’s disgraceful, but the weather has been truly awful. The average daytime high temperature between that last ride and today’s was 38°. We had rain. We had snow. We had high winds that on a few of those days dropped the “feels like” temperature into single digits. Basically, we had February weather for the last two weeks. I was demoralized. At least I kept up with my upper body strength training workouts in the home gym—those have been going well—but I couldn’t be bothered with the bike, not even indoors.
And if riding today became something of a moral imperative, then riding tomorrow will be even more urgent. The middle of this week is a tiny island of adequacy in a vast ocean of no F-ing way. We’re going to be drenched by rain on Friday and Saturday, then covered by snow on Sunday and Monday. Winter is a long way from done with us:
Enough already.
