It feels like SpringWhen we were getting dressed for today's ride, Joanne asked me if I thought she should wear her rain jacket or her wind shell. I looked at her in disbelief. She knew from my look that the only correct answer was to wear the rain jacket. The average precipitation for January is 5.84 inches. This January, we have enjoyed 8.34 inches. December was no better; the average is 6.46 inches but we had 8.25 inches. It has been a wet winter. But today was different. On our forty mile ride today, it never rained on us. It seems that every ride for the last two months has been in the rain, but not today. We even saw patches of blue sky. It has been so long, I had forgotten how beautiful blue sky really is. Gorgeous!
