Amazing weather - up & down like..... I really need to move South!
Last week I went out for my first ride of the season. The day was in the high 50's, clear sky, mild wind and it was great. Then a few days later it went to the mid 60's, and had another great local ride. Now the snow has returned and temps have plummeted. Later this week, daily high's in the 20's are predicted, with more snow likely. I really need to move south.

Yup, that worked for me, back in 2011. I've ryded over 1600 myles so far this year, including three days last week, ending Saturday, and I almost never ryde when it's below 70. Now it's too cold again from yesterday's cold front, but it won't be too long, I'll be ryding some more!

We enjoy nearly year round riding here in the Phoenix area. There are a number of weeks in the summer where riding is best done early in the day. Last week we had nearly perfect riding weather, but this week has been windy and cool.

We also have had a roller coaster weather here in VT.
We have had a few cold snaps( with wind chills - 20 and feel like -10 ) Also a few days in the 50's and near 60's, and 1 Nor'Easter with 12 inches to 2 feet of snow.
They are forecasting this week the temps in the 30's to 40's.
(off topic: I might have gotten my last sled ride in for the season, but mother natural might throw at us more snow this month!!!).

Fewer days ( SO FAR) but the snow conditions and grooming have been really good. I'm off to no. Arizona and Colorado ( Purgatory Ski Resort) for a few more days. We are supposed to get an "atmospheric river" next week here in the Sierras. This means FEET of snow and a long season. Be well.... Lew
