I hate the cold! I can't say it enough, I hate the cold. I like the snow, hate the cold that comes with it. It is May here in arizona and the rest of the world. May is when the weather starts getting nice, the bikes come out and the sun is always shining. Phoenix starts inching toward 100 degrees and here in flagstaff the temps become perfect in the mid to high 70s. The spring winds that flagstaffians are so used to finally stop and the weather becomes down right awesome.
Not today. No. Not today. The wind came back yesterday with avengence. 45 mph gusts and a horrible start to Bike to Work Week. I rode. Don't count me out, i toughed out the wind with fury. 24 miles, half of which were right into the darn stuff. But, not in recent memory can i remember a day during bike to work week when we had snow. thats right, snow! i wake up to maybe a consistent 3 inches on the groud and huge, ominous flakes floating to the ground, heavily. We had a forest fire just yesterday! And now it is snowing! Unbelieveable. I am going to try and tough out the snow and hop on my bike for at least a couple miles today. Its bike to work week and i can't leave snow as an excuse for saving the planet and my wallet from the ravages of gas.
