cold blanket

i guess it's not so much an april surprise as standard fare. yesterday after work i got a good two hours with tim climbing little hills. we stayed warm that way. the bike feels great and the body is responding well after my break. weird weather though, spots of stiff hail/snow and then around the bend, sun. today in my fog as i rolled the road machine out of the house i didn't notice the flat rear tire, bad news, i had to fish the single out of the shed in the dark and change my shoes. but i got some work done on it after getting to work. no more studded front tire and sort of cleaned it up a bit. the cold blanket of snow didn't really change much, it was snowing/raining as we went to bed and the roads were just wet as i took the fast way in after wasting time changing shoes and bikes. snowing pretty steadily now, i wish i went to the gila, i could use the penance.
