Mayday! Mayday!

It was 40° F at 6 PM last night when I left for a ride. This was May 1st, by the way. Normal highs for May 1st in Minneapolis are 64°. Yikes. It's been a gloomy spring to say the least. But there are a couple of advantages to being out when it's cold and windy:

1) Less traffic. Seriously, there were only 3 people on Lake Calhoun. It was that slow;

2) Awesome tail wind if you plan the route right;

3) You feel like a total bad ass for being out when most people are complaining about the crappy weather. 40 and gray is better than 4 and icy, right? My thoughts exactly, even if it doesn't help the vitamin D deficiency.

Of course, riding a bike in 40° weather is nowhere near as bad ass as these guys. Chapeau ST6.
