The original plan called for Gina and I to head up to the BRP to take advantage of its first opening of the season. With the temp at 47 and rapidly strengthening northwesterlies anticipated to increase to 25 mph with gusts well past 35, we decided to abandon the original plan. Instead, Gina went running and I rode locally. The weather to start was sunny, but very chilly with temps barely making it into the low fifties. The NW winds continued to increase, topping out at 25-30 with much higher gusts. The cloud cover also increased to the point where it was mostly overcast toward the end of the ride, making for some very uncomfortable conditions. It actually felt and looked more like a day in late October than early May! Nonetheless, it was good to finally get our of the basement after a long, cold, snowy winter!
