Winter Returns

Of course, it had to end. The ridiculous streak of sunny, dry days wraps up this week with lots and lots of rain predicted. I will miss the endless opportunities to ride the last month brought, but I know the trails very much need the moisture. Some of the conditions out there have started to resemble those of early summer, as I've seen plenty of dust and even some duff in places.

My partner recently got me a pair of Lake winter mountain bike shoes. I will probably fit my road bike with compatible cleats and see how these work on both bikes. I've worked really hard to improve my fitness this winter and would hate to start missing too many rides due to weather.
