On an early-March day that featured 65°F temperatures (even if it was accompanied by a strong wind), I had to get out. I only rode about 26 miles, but they were good ones. But I’m ready for green grass and leaves on trees.

Here are a few pictures from late January and February. As much as I enjoy riding in the snow, I’m definitely looking forward to more pleasant bicycling conditions.
Hope you’re not getting tired of seeing snow-biking pictures, because we just got another 6 inches of white stuff dumped on us, so it’ll be around for awhile.
Took a ride to the now-familiar trails on the northwest side of Hillsdale Lake, hoping to get a bit more snow riding in while I had the chance.
I’ve been waiting for this day for months: first snow! Conditions for snow-biking were just about perfect, and I didn’t miss my chance to get in a few miles of biking in the midst of a snowstorm.
I’ve now ridden over 25,000 miles as an adult cyclist (since 2004), which is just slightly more than the circumference of the earth. I’m ready for my next go-around!
My goal for 2010 was 5200 miles, which is an average of 100 miles per week. I reached that in November, and ultimately ended the year at 5600 miles.
Lots of riding this fall, but very few “big” rides to write about. Quite a few “utility” miles, not quite as many “recreational” miles. Still, I took the time to capture a few moments.
