Well this is going to go two ways.
1. Get your damned bike out of my way. You bicycle riders blocking the road!!
2. It was 68 here yesterday. At 2am it was raining and at 6:30 this morning there's almost 3 inches of snow.
I ride a road bike so the second option for me.
I thought about a ride yesterday but I had a few fences needing fixed after work.

I need to get my bicycle tuned up for the year. The last of our snow should melt today. It was in the 70s last week, high of 22 on Thursday, and 34 of Friday. Back to near 60 today. People are like, "this weather is crazy." I am like, "It would be crazy if we had a March where the weather didn't do this" I think everything is thawed enough I am going to plant some stuff instead of working on my bike though. I need to mow down some winter kill cover crops, and get a couple more spots ready for trees, or at least decide where I am putting them....only to change my mind when they arrive. 
Yep, I ride every Sat morning. yesterday I was wearing a t shirt and this morning it's 34 degrees with 17mph winds! It'll be better tomorrow.
Nice ride btw, I ride an older S-Works Tarmac.

Growing up I had a beater $100 used canoe.
If it was a fishin day, we were out. Even busted the thin ice on the water’s edge a few times.
Kinda like deer hunting at -13 air temp and -21 wind chill.
Only skip if its dangerous.
Drivers in Arizona will aim for you if you're on a bicycle.
Man if I saw you riding down the road on that bike and with that outfit I would never in a million years said "Yep that guys a Sniper's Hide member".......LOL
For the record. I have never worn spandex biker shorts.

That hurts, that hurts, you’re are a true scummy comparing me to the worst POS to ever walk on the planet.
Worst? Not even, but he does have a reservation in hell.
Was in Dallas all week. We rolled out late Thursday and drove back to South Louisiana. Didn’t trust that front coming in. Got snowed in once in Dallas.
It’s not why I ride but making drivers cry sure is icing on the cake
Nice to see another cajun on the forum.
Im offshore in the Gulf on a drillship. We had to unlatch from our well due to winds and heavy seas. Started my shift sweating, ended my same shift last night in a jacket and soaking wet.
I guess dressing up like you are in the Tour de France for a bike ride is no different than wearing plates and snipery shit to shoot......
All kidding aside that bike looks fast sitting still.

FL too. last week mid 80s,tonite 28,early week 50s low. this time of year it's ac 1 day,heater the next to keep temp about 75-76.
Was out yesterday for two hours & doing lots of hill work. Retirement has its advantages. Today, we have snow & ice.

I do Senior Olympics cycling. The racing gives me a good excuse to train, the training helps me stay young. At 73 I need all the young I can get.
This is my Time Trial bike. I train on it twice a week because it is a strange bird to ride. TT bikes have the high bottom brackets and the short wheelbase that makes them want to turn and the weight forward and geometry that makes them want to go straight. All that mixed together makes it very unstable and quite a real trick to ride well. Most are afraid of them but riding them regularly (like twice a week or more) gives the skill and confidence to make them do what you want. Plus they are Fast and fast is fun!
Most of my ridding is on a standard road bike. Rides good but a bit boring.
Awesome. Im 42 and I bet your in better shape than me!
It was supposed to read Never worn spandex bicycle shorts.While cycling ?
Same here at 3:30-4:30. I didn't have full summer on, long sleeve upper as it'd started dropping to mid-60s. Snow by Midnight, 22 deg. A few states over from you.
Nice bike!!
Remember winter weather in the gulf. Total schitzo. 20 to 30 ft seas. Got hit with 100 mph winds freak storm. Just unlatched from well head. Fun time on deepseas.
68 yesterday. Today, 2 inches of snow with lows tonight about 15. Crazy weather. But we had one of our largest snowstorms in April years ago.
Nice bike...I have a Cervelo SLC-SL (old model) with Reynolds wheels. It still flies even with my old ass pedaling it
was.....
Don't start nuthin', there won't be nuthin'
I was on the Richardson, Deepwater Horizon, Cajun Express, Clear Leader. Not necessarily in that order. Spent a lot of time on jackups before that.
Sounds like a Hide Ride needs scheduled. Traffic will get backed up for miles. Road raging maniacs threatening to kill everyone on a bike. It'll be great
I was on the Clearleader as well. I worked for NOV and brought it from the shipyard and spent ALOT of time doing rotations on it, the Americas and the Inspiration.
