As my wife and friends point out, I've declared the end of my cycling season on several occasions so far this year. However, each time, the fickle weather of this atypical year makes a liar out of me. So I give up . . . I don't know when my cycling season will end.
My latest late-autumn ride was on Monday, November 23rd, when I took an afternoon off from work and rode a little more than 21 miles. The weather forecast called for sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. What I actually got was cloudy skies and a temperature that peaked at 49. However, those conditions were still abnormally warm for late-November, and with virtually no wind, it was a reasonably comfortable ride.
As I write this blog entry, I notice that the forecast for Saturday is about the same, but with sunny skies. After that, however, the temperatures drop considerably. So will Saturday the 28th be my final ride? Or will we have a mid-December heat wave to make a liar out of me once again?
