Oh yeah - first ride of the year without a jacket - I had tights and arm warmers and a thermal T under my jersey... it was wonderful. Also - last day of Daylight Wasting Time!
I thought I was feeling good, but I got passed by a lot of folks.
I was hoping to see poppies, and I did, but they were outside of The Park in the residential area on Blackhawk Road. Apparently they're all over NorthGateRoad, where they usually make their first appearance.
JB decided to ride down SouthGateRoad with me to get in some extra miles for his weekly sum.
