Winter Ride

Well it hardly felt like winter yesterday with the blue skies and warm temps. We had some work to do on TheBendGuide.com so our morning was busy. Around 1:00 the temps had risen to around 45 so I grabbed my cyclocross bike and went for a ride. I managed to get about 24 or so miles in with a few trips up Pilot Butte as well - though I had to turn around before getting all the way because the North side was a sheet of ice.



It really was perfect weather for riding because I didn't get too sweaty or too cold. The rustling of my wind vest is a somewhat soothing sound to me for some reason. As I flew past houses with swirling smoke drifting from the chimneys and looked off across fields of melting snow and puddles I thought about how nice it was to enjoy such a versatile form of "workout".
