I think I love el nino. Now, I don't know what causes this weather pattern other than some warming of the oceans. So, somehow, this has got to be tied to Global Climate Change. Please don't mistake what I am saying as discounting the very real problem of Global Warming. I don't know if there is a more serious problem facing, not just humanity, but all the globe's life forms than the obvious changes in global temperatures. I am in favor of any and all attempts to correct the grievous error in our human trajectory.
With that said, today was almost 50 degrees and in New England you can pretty much consider that a friggin' heat wave in December. After some morning xmas shopping, I scurried home to enjoy the fruits of this ridiculous weather. At the beginning of the month I felt I had hung my bike on its rack for the winter and would revisit my two wheeled rocket when the snow melted. Much to my delight this was not the case.
Although my riding legs have begun their winter atrophy I felt better than I would have expected. I rode my normal 20 miler with relative ease even if it wasn't the blistering pace I was accustomed to only a couple short months ago. It felt great and it looks as if I may get at least one more ride this week. These rides are certainly taking place on borrowed time, and right now I will borrow as much as I can.
