It looks like it'll be pretty mild round here this week so fingers crossed.

The only thing spring has sprung round here is a leak!

48 kms this morning in a buffeting circular headwind; it's now howling with pouring rain again. Still, first ride this year without the full winter regalia!

Thank you for reminding me of that delightful poem that google tells me is not by Ogden Nash or ee cummings or Tom Lehrer, but by that prolific writer, Anon.
Spring has sprung, the grass is ris,
I wonder where them birdies is
The bird is on the wing,
How absurd
I always heard
The wing is on the bird!
(That's my version. Google offers many variants, often with Brooklyn "boid" spelling.)

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday I was housebound; the rain was coming down in sheets and being blown horizontal by the wind. Seriously horrible day, and cold too, so fire on and an afternoon of rugby on TV..
Today - rode down to Ardrossan, got the ferry to Arran, did the full circuit, ferry back to Ardrossan, and rode home. 85 miles all in. Hardly any wind, mild temperatures, and for once - no rain. So hopefully yes; spring may have sprung. But this is Ayrshire and it could all go horribly wrong again......

What's that saying?... If you can't see Arran, it's raining. If you can see Arran, its going to rain.

Perfect day for it, good effort.
After the football I've been in the garage most of the afternoon getting the salt off various components of the bike. I've Just checked the weather, and I think tomorrow is the first morning for a while that the temperature is not due to get lower than +2. Not exactly spring, but enough to look forward to a commute ride without the salt on the road.

I had always heard:
Spring has sprung,
The grass is green.
I wonder where the flowers been?
Certainly not here, we are still below freezing with terrible winds. At least it seems to have stopped snowing for now! We will wait and see, but I would like to ride without my lungs feeling like glass.

TMN to you!
I don't know how I managed to miss that, given it was the post immediately before mine.
I must be losing my marbles ( or should I say moibles).
