Fickle Spring Weather Riding

[george schick]

The past 3-4 days have been great weather-wise (except for the airborne allergins) for biking. Now the temps are dropping again across the Central Midwest.  Groan. Such it is this time of year.

Yeah it’s been an odd spring, got to 95 today in DC and the pollen is killing me.  This weekend it will be in the 60s with rain.

After riding with extra layers for nearly 8 months, we got our first dose of heat this weekend (30C+) and it re-affirmed for me just how much I like cool-weather cycling.

I got a Brooks B17 in the fall, after using C17 for a couple years.  I wore UnderArmour compression boxers and bib shorts with no padding, or whatever pants/tights/shorts, and it was bliss.  Until a ride in 30C+ temps when I sweat so much and the saddle became so uncomfortable due to the chaffing.  Still figuring out what to do next hot ride...

Johnathan: +1 about the pollen count. This Spring has been even worse than last year. My eyes have been so itchy, sore, and watery I feel like gouging 'em out and resorting to AI vision \:(
