Nice day for a ride

Today was a very nice day for an early spring bicycle ride. The sun emerged this afternoon and the temperatures eventually rose to 50. The breeze was light and completely non-punitive, the wind felt warm, definitely missing anything like a bite. Bicycling on a day like today would be a pleasure.

Were it not for the condition of the streets.I walked instead and every street within a mile and a half of my house featured stretches like this one with no way to ride without riding through standing water.

Because I like riding my bicycle and dislike having to clean and dry all of the metal surfaces after riding I find that conditions are still not bicycle ready.

On the other hand, 50!

It won't take many days like this, days of 50 and sunny. The season approaches.
