Are We There Yet?

I think Mother Nature is playing pranks on me. Outside, the sun is shining and snow is melting off the roofs. I hear birds singing. Can it be? Has spring come early to Minnesota?

Alas, no. It's only 24ยบ F and likely to stay there for a while yet.

I often remark to co-workers that my brain doesn't really realize that it isn't summer anymore. Even with the snow on the ground, it takes me a minute to remember I can't come home from work at 5:30 in the afternoon, throw on my jersey and shorts, and go for a ride.

I'm dreaming of endless, smooth, curvy asphalt roads, the sun shining warm overhead, and temperatures in the 70's. Are we there yet?

Until next time, ride long and keep the rubber-side down.

  1. I decided today it was time to just pretend that it is spring. And to ride outside. Um not sure that will work but it did wonders for my attitude towards a 3.5 hour ride next weekend. Now i am not too certain that my attitude wont be shattered in the next few days and even walking outside today was brutal with the wind. So um...Are we there yet? I dont want to really tell you my real thoughts:(
