Three months of rain, low cloud and 7 degrees tho is not what is needed!
Begone with your early summer forecast 😉 🙂
One thing I like about winter are those “stolen rides” where the stars, wind, and sun align and you get a mostly dry, or hero-dirt ride. Riding through leafless trees lit by a low sun is worth a few muddy rides. Also those – getting less frequent – hard frosty rides when you’re freezing cold at the start but then warm up to ‘summer from the axles’ down.
Totally agree ,some of the best night rides ( for me)are through the dark months.
