Today's ride was an attempt to work up to an average ride this summer. Doing this 8-10 days in a row seems daunting.

Still waiting for summer.  A little more snow is expected on Monday.
It'll be difficult to log 3000 miles by June.

Today is a clue that summer's coming. I hear my transcontinental trip calling my name.

Between snow and sickness, it's been almost a month since the last time that I rode my bike. Making 3000 miles by June seems a little harder now but I might still do it. Today's ride was my usual loop with a little wandering thrown in. It was fairly easy. I still find my new bike to be a pleasure to ride and cannot imagine a better one for cruising a good road.  There were a few spots where the road wasn't so good.  Although my arms and legs were bare as if summer had arrived, I still had to carry the bike over some short stretches of solid ice.
