You know there's a wind advisory when...

You're rapidly decelerating while pedaling downhill.

The dirt roads are finally (FINALLY!) free of ice, so I took the opportunity to go riding outside (for the first time this year, since I lack studded tires). The lack of available daylight and high winds made it a short ride (only seven miles) but it was much-needed.

Also, late winter colors suck. Everything looks like mud, even if it isn't. Why can't we have the pretty fall colors year round?
