Winter cycling on a road bike is terrific fun when it's not -15. Problem was, this past February it was -15.
But tonight it was -2 and practically wind-free. So I went out. A night ride through the quiet countryside with the ghostly snow lit up by the moon is a special experience.

I've been off the road bike (and on the mountain bike) since late December. That's a two-and-a-half month winter hiatus. I consider that close to normal for road cycling for around here, except that in more average years you would still be doing sporadic rides during January and February when the temps aren't crazy and the roads are dry.
Last year was cold as hell, and this past February was record-breaking, but duration-wise things are kinda normal.
I, for one, welcome our new March overlords.
