RIDING IN THE AGE OF
CLIMATE VARIABILITY

Photo for April is the same spot as for March, but of course this time there is no ice. That is pretty much to be expected though.

March wasn't the greatest month for riding but it was okay. I got out a few times a week despite some really cold temps. Trail rides though haven't been much due to the wet. Lots of rain of late has made it gooey at best.

A long time ago I taught weather forecasting so I know a bit about how it works. From my many years of
riding what strikes me is the wind.

Yes, we get warm days and cold days and those differences are notable. However, as a cyclist I can't remember it being so consistently windy. It has been windy enough that I've not gone out for a ride because I'm just not interested in suffering so much. That seems to be the new normal. More or less it is going to be adapt or die as
a cyclist. Time for an aero MTB!
