The past couple of weeks, our weather has been improving. Going through one of those false springs, where the snow starts to melt, and you see temperatures in the 50s, and possibly even 60s. Window start coming down in the cars, less jackets and more short sleeves, and more then just the (fool)hardy folks start to go out in shorts.
It hasn’t been perfect, last week was rainy and cool, but overall, it just kept getting better and better.
This weekend, the weather reset to expected March conditions. Today never saw north of 40, and was hazy and threatening to spit on us, and a cold wind out of the north.
6 of use started off at around 8:30am, and headed out. Hit Dutton road at about 4 mils, and headed toward Lake Orion. At ~10 miles, Marty, Kristy and Mike headed off on what they expect to be a slightly shorter route then the other 3 of us planned. Joe, Bill and I headed up thru Lake Orion, up and around Addison Oaks, and hit the couple of miles of the single track. Then we started to head south. At Orion and Gunn road, I split off from the other two, and headed back down the PCT. My toes were frozen, and they just weren’t warming up for me. I ended up with about 36 miles, and got back 15 minutes after the other 3, who got ~32 miles themselves. Joe and Bill headed over toward Stony after we split, did a little single track there, and ended up with 53 and 50 respectively.
After a week of warm days and evenings, it would have been nice to see the temperature up on the 50s this weekend, but at least the rain held out for a dry ride.
