Thank you, Cate. What a big move for you! Where in the US? There’s such a variety to explore here; I think you’ll really enjoy the opportunities!

JollyJo: Good to hear from you! We can always hydrate to tolerate heat, but with the extreme cold, the only eventual remedy is to escape it! The ultimate “adjustment” is to move south or west, I guess…

We’re up to 23 degrees here today, with lots of beautiful snow to run through which makes the cold infinitely more bearable! Now, if we could just segue from snow-covered to “spring” without having the slushy meltdown, it would be perfect!

Intrepid: I like your theory. It would be hard to pedal anywhere in Ohio this week though, as you probably know! I don’t think my kids have had a full week of school yet in 2009 due to one weather concern or another.

I’m very late in responding here. Your 80+ degree temperatures are long gone, but you’re probably in another hemisphere by now…

Delmer: Cycling is a distant dream, huh? I’m thinking we have plenty of time on both the mowers and the bikes. Really glad I fit in those last couple of chilly rides…

Brad: You enjoyed a very civil version of “winter”. I don’t think we’ve had a warm day since!

I’m bookmarking the trail website you referenced. Like many, I’ve vacationed along South Carolina’s coast -need to check out those trails and parks… They sound like great destinations!

Here’s to summer, fall and spring… Here’s to sixty degrees and sunny (and for the record: I’m in no way opposed to sweating my way up to a more civil “ninety”).

Amen to that. I am mystified. Why is it that we never ever get used to the cold.

you have captured the tree in the water really well. Good light and color. It is good to read about these places, for me being outside the US, I can add some beautiful areas to my list for when I move there in June. I can’t wait to explore. Thanks for the post.

sctrails.net is a great resource if you ever visit South Carolina. A few of my favorites in Greenville and surrounding areas of the upstate: Paris Mtn State Park, Ceasars Head State Park, Jones Gap, Devils Fork, Little and Big Eastatoe Rivers along Hwy 11.

Great story! The weather was nicer than I thought (like spring) for a couple of days the last week of December when was visiting my brother in Cinncinatti.

I can’t wait either.

I’m going to take the bike in for a checkup next week. I thought I’d try to beat the rush. (My mower … eh, I’ll wait til the last minute to have it looked at.)

If you pedal faster does that mean it gets warmer sooner? I feel your pain. You know it’s been in the mid 80′s here all week. Something wierd is going on!

Jean-Luc,
The Three Creek Trails make for a pretty great afternoon. ~Can’t wait ’til it’s warm enough to ride again!

It looks a good trail.
