Smokey in the valley but a stiff north wind cleared it up pretty well. Warm day after a weird week. After 80 degrees on Saturday it snowed on Tuesday, was back up in the 70s today and its supposed to be 40s and rainy over the weekend.

First really warm day of the year. Strong headwind going out 66. Felt like we started the climb as soon as we left Ashland. The wind died down when we hit the climb. Lots of snow left. Pictures

Buckhorn Spgs. Jacksonville. Second annual ride my years ride. Mostly sunny but cool, about 55 at the warmest. I took it easy and did fine considering I'm carrying 10 extra pounds and haven't gotten near the miles in this year.
