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!!

I managed to escape the rain yesterday but only got in a quick 20+km ride. That north wind was bitter.
We've had a pretty great spring season so far though. I've already got 2000+km outside compared to 1000+ last year. Even though I think Velominati is BS, I have tried to HTFU this year to get out for colder rides. I still won't ride if it's already raining. I just hate constantly cleaning my bike.
