Sunday's ride was bright and cold. The roads still had snow cover in places and I discovered it was delicate to ascend a hill that had ice on it. There was an odd feeling when the back wheel spun as I tried to put power to the pedals. Wind out of the west fooled me because it seemed to be from the south. I spent several minutes headed east to get to a good southbound road. Just a zip up of my vest helped to keep out the westerly breeze when I turned back that direction and found myself riding into the wind.
It was a nice ride, with everything still snow covered, the sky was its delightful blue, and the temperature was in the low twenties. The best part of the ride was hearing so many birds! It almost sounded like summer with all the Robins singing their praises to the sun. Compared to just a week ago, there was a lot of noise. It was encouraging to think that warm weather will arrive. I still don't know how soon, but there are more and more signs it is going to get here.
