Out Of Hibernation

We reached 40° today, our first day above freezing since December 22 and our first 40° day since December 19. Good enough for me: I did my first bike ride of the new year. It was only 18 miles around town on my mountain bike, but I was happy for the opportunity. And there should be more opportunities this week. Tuesday and Wednesday will be around 40° and should feel even warmer than today because the winds will be lighter. Thursday holds some promise too—the temperature will approach 50° at noon—but then a cold front will arrive with a chance for rain and flurries.

I’m dealing with some lower back pain right now. Hopefully, today’s ride won’t be my only ride this week.
