Up hill and spinning--downhill and crashing.

James and I rode the Barry Roubaix course again this Sunday.  Weather in Michigan this spring has been pretty typically unpredictable.  Last weekend saw days in the high 30s and lows in the teens.  What this meant for the course was ice and mud.  The shaded areas had thawed all week and it would freeze to glaze ice again as temperatures dropped.  The sunny areas were soft mud, the kind that make it feel like you are on you resistance trainer.  Our typical Barry Roubaix ride is around the 2 hour mark.  This day it was over 3.  I forgot food and my water bottle froze.  Man was that fun!

The good news is that the Sea to Sea rides should be better conditions than this!  I cant' wait to be able to ride in the warm sun again.  Spring is coming!
