Ok, I know it's not really spring yet. I live very near the 45th parallel which means practically nothing except that our four seasons fall right on the lunar calendar. No matter what that rodent in Pennsylvania says about winter, ours will last until March 23rd. Plan on it.
This year has been beyond crazy, even by Michigan standards. We are getting 2-3 feet of snow in multiple day onslaughts alternated with a week of 40-50 degree sunshine to melt it all down. What are we supposed to do with this? When I plan to go skiing it's too warm, I take the studded tires off, another storm hits. It's enough to make the President believe in climate change (I seriously doubt it, but I thought I 'd throw that in). So we have been riding through waist high drifts on icy streets one day
and flooded trails a few days later.
While we are out on the streets hoping not to freeze to death one day or drown the next, Lexus is offering Michigan cyclists an alternative.
Their new velodrome takes indoor training to the next level and is developing praise all around as a magnificent facility. Is this really an attempt to promote the sport of cycling or an elaborate indoor trainer? They sponsored a beautiful new track, a cage to keep the spandex hamsters off the street and out of their way. I smell conspiracy.
