Re: [RBW] Re: January is long and I miss my bikes

[Leah Peterson]

Hello, it’s me, Leah, coming to you on January 947th. We get done with one winter storm only to survive it and shovel out in time for the next one to arrive. My tenacious college boy is out there on his Clem with NO STUDDED TIRES, slipping and sliding and occasionally crashing, but he perseveres. He tells me, “There is no such thing as no bike day” and he worries me. To make matters worse, the meteorologists inform me that the Great Lakes are freezing over and that means a cold, wet spring, which is the exact thing I was declaring cannot happen, because If we have a vicious winter, we are owed a gentle spring. Alas, nature is not taking input from Michiganders, or even pretend ones, and it will be a long time before I’m back in the saddle. I was supposed to be riding with Pam and Roberta in Charlotte today, but we were foiled again by the weather. Charlotte is in a winter storm watch, and that’s how you know the world has gone crazy. Anyway, we do have Philly Bike coming up in March and I am hoping it will be somewhat reasonable so we can ride.  On Jan 28, 2026, at 6:00 PM, Jay <jason.bike...@gmail.com> wrote: Well, as of today there are 3 days left in January.  That may just feel like a month lol Starting Sunday and through to next Saturday our highs are between -5C  and -9C, which is actually really warm compared to recently, so I may get out for a ride after all.  I'm now riding indoors and not complaining about it; I use Rouvy, and recent rides include Spain, France, New Zealand, Italy and this morning in Tenerife. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
