Beginning My 9th (2012) Biking Season

One wish with leaving Milwaukee on the horizon was to finally have one mild winter here since the other four were quite brutal. Thus far this has been a very unusual winter in Milwaukee with not having a significant snowfall yet along with above average temperatures. I was able not only ride on New Years Eve, but today went out on January 5th where the temperatures nearly reached 50 degrees! Got a nice little 14 mile ride out for some shopping and hoping for a bit more in the next few days. Happy New Year!
