    I think this is the thread where I complain about the weather.

    Complaint:

    Winter is hanging on too aggressively! This is getting me all-kind-of-ticked-off.

    There - I said it. And I mean it, too! I'm getting sick of the weather in my old age, and I blame it for my grey hair and male-pattern baldness.

    Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

    What's up with the 65-70 degree weather during the week and 35 degrees on the weekend? It's supposed to snow this weekend!

    Only if it starts raining.

    Otherwise, I want more snow.

    IMI has been tempting. Days in the 50's remind me of freezing my ass off on the bike every time I went over cammeron in the dark. Always after a 500 mile canyon ride that put me back in northern colorado at dark. There is a clean very twisty road near my house that beckons to me every day in the 60's. I am going to wait for some rain. The snowy forcast makes me feel like progress is lost. Gotta get down to NM devils spine!!!

    Spring time in Colorado. 60-70 degrees during the week. 40-50 degrees on the weekends. But in 4-6 weeks it will just be nice all the time. I cant wait!

    Ski season is going out like a lion. Cabin fever is the worst! Jump off your roof into some flaming plywood or something.

    Re: I think this is the thread where I complain about the weather.

    Rode Golden Gate > P2P > Coal Creek last Saturday: low of 38/high of 42, snow flakes chased me down P2P...



    (My FirstGear/Warm & Safe heated layers kept me toasty)



    Rode again on Sunday... much warmer (high of 60... heated gear not needed).

    Riding again today.

    Both Golden Gate and Coal Creek were sandy in the tighter sections, but I wasn't out to break any speed records.
