So Where Is The Global Warming

Well I ended up with 112 miles, in Colorado, in January, not bad for a novice rider. A tad slower average but my cadence came up. I would much rather have my speed come up, but for right now, I need that cardio workout when I can get it.

I did find something that I am not ready for though. My body is getting old but my mind isn’t. It was not that long ago that at 45 degrees I was still in shorts but a couple of rides at 50 and I froze my butt off. Long bibs, long sleeve under armour cold gear, long sleeve cool weather jersey, tall socks and I was still cold. I see riders go by my abode some dressed like I do, they must be young, and then the guys that are so wrapped up I can hardly tell if they are male or female let alone their generation. I think what the problem is, I am not ageing I have the wrong clothes. I believe I am going to hit the closeouts this spring for some good deals on warmer clothes.

We have had some really out of the normal weather this year, which may be a distant reason. The typical snow storm then a couple or three of the 50’s and 60’s for a few days before the next snow hasn’t really happened. It hasn’t become Minnesota cold Eh, but hanging around just above freezing is not what we Coloradoans have been spoiled with. So what happened to that global warming, oh that’s right it’s not snowing in Rio.

Stay Warm, Ride Safe, But Be Careful Out There.
