dang typical April...er... early May weather... had some sunshine, some warmth, some heinous winds, some shifty winds, etc... was watching some big ugly clouds in the far NW around midday... seemed to be heading directly east. Suddenly they swerved and headed SE so it was a quick turn south then back into NW Calgary. Still got pelted with snain, pellets, winds, etc... At times was concerned the road would turn to slick ice as it quickly tapped below zero. Made it ok but ended the ride with a very wet @r$e and lots of dark slimy crap on the bike/wheelset which could only be a mix of the exhaust and oils. gross. Just glad to have learned to never trust spring weather in YYC and tis better to have a little too much clothing than not enough. Still nice to get out at least!!
