Look, I don't have much to say today. I rode a lot, as much as I could pack in. It was 70 degrees. While it will be raining Wednesday, it should clear by mid-morning and it will be similarly warm, unseasonably so, despite some windy patches mid-day.
What the hell are you doing here reading this?
We're getting a respite from the weather here on the East Coast. Get your ass out for a ride. Go sit in your back yard and enjoy the lack of bugs, despite the 68 degrees and high humidity.
Sweat for a change.
Enjoy the blue sky tomorrow after the rain clears.
Enjoy the sun.
Sit on the patio or the steps, or outside at a local cafe, and have a bottle of wine or some Belgian ale with your sweetie.
But whatever you do, kick your friggin' computer to the curb. Put down your book. Get off your ass. Go outside and enjoy the weather.
Don't be a moron.
On beautiful days, when nature winks at you, at least have the good grace to smile back at her. Do not scorn her flirtations... let her know she's appreciated. She will probably be cold to us for the next 8 weeks. Do not waste the time... gather ye the Budweisers while ye may. A big part of enjoying life is learning to be cool with Mother Nature's moods. Enjoying her spectacular good moods, like today's, makes it a lot easier to put up with the bad ones.
So put down your laptop, and back away from this blog slowly.
See ya tomorrow kids. Have some nice riding.

Sadly, I have found the inclement weather you seem to have lost. Apparently it flew south for the winter, arriving recently at the "Sunshine (ironic) Coast". It's equal parts pissing down (average 4" a day for the past 12 days) and blowing a gale (20-30mph most days with gusts to 50).
Being a trackie sucks when you live in the only state without an indoor velodrome.
EMERGENCY REQUEST:
Hey folks. It's 12:45. I'm stuck at work. Just came back from a meeting, it was 70 degrees out, sunny, light breeze. Holy shit I need to get out of here soon. But I have a ton of work to do, and my little world will come crashing down if I don't get it done.
If you're reading and have any ideas for some good, plausible excuses I can lay on the boss to cut out early and get in a couple hours riding while the weather's still fine, lay 'em on me.
C'mon. Even if you *hate* me, think of this as your chance to help get me fired. I need some good excuses here people. Let's have 'em.
I rode, and ran! Today is the last day of nice though.
Hope you got out and rode lots.
