There was a brief window of opportunity. The weather was holding. I had an opening on my calendar. Time to squeeze in a quick ride because, this time of year, you never know when the conditions will be favorable.

This was my shortest ride since last February 19, but an hour in the cold, with many layers of clothing to keep warm, is better than looking through the window wishing I could ride.
