When riding starts in my group, we're going to have to require helmets and huge tires as it looks from here.
Kinder winters for the last two years lulled municipal road departments and those older, more porous streets and roads have simply given up to entropy this winter, returning to their particulate origins. Short of road salt so plows ran yesterday, spalling the already delicate roads. It's going to be more dangerous to ride in a group in the spring on these roads than it is now. The persistent snow pack may be more reminiscent of Siberia than North America, but it sure helps level and bind the degraded roads and streets. Days are getting longer, I could see the blue of the blue of the sky before dawn the other day as I got to work, while it was 3°. Ah the coming days of warmth when all unfreezes and lets go.
