Mid February and the weather here in central Illinois, for the last three days, is in record territory....mid 60's.  However, since I am recovering from a nasty cold, I have been unable to take advantage of outdoor biking.  So, tomorrow with the temp to reach high 60's I will make a trek to Magnolia.  While it's a mere 35 miles, at least it's an outdoor ride in February, a feat rarely accomplished.  I will take it and while it may be a result of global warming I will do my best to take advantage of it. Now, here is the big question, will I be able to complete a ride with all the hills and valleys or will I give up because at my age it may be too hard.  Time will tell!!
