On Saturday, I was riding with toe warmers in my boots. This afternoon? Shorts! Bare hands! No jacket! No hat!
There still is a lot of crud on the roads, so I took my fat tire wheels off my one bike, and put mountain bike wheels and a rack on it for commuting to work today.
The streets were filled with cyclists and, although I am out of shape, I can tell that the bit I rode this winter was helpful for transitioning into this spring riding. I hope the weather holds for the long haul (like, say, 35 years), but I left my fat tire wheels out, in easy reach, just in case.
Here's a video someone took during the fat bike Birkie we did last weekend. It didn't do a good enough job of showing the hills, but you get the general idea.

On a side note, I'm making progress, but have a long way to go, still, toward reaching my fundraising goal. Maybe the weather will help with that, too!
