This weather has GOT to start warming up. Temp is -1 this morning. I know it's only March, but I really gotta get out on my road bikes and get some real miles under me. I've got the TD Five Boro Bike Tour event (http://www.bike.nyc/events/td-five-boro-bike-tour/)coming up in just over a month, and I've got NO road miles under me since probably last November. I've been on the rollers, but my brain cannot make me stay on them to put on real miles. I need to get out on the road. Sure, I've been out on the fat bike a few times, but that was just to play around and find out I need to learn how to ride the damned thing. 

The Five Boro Tour isn't a race or gran fondo, but it WILL be a day of probably about 50 miles. The route is 40 miles with an additional 5 miles after the finish line to get to the Staten Island Ferry to get back to Manhattan. I'm sure there will be additional miles somewhere to make the total 50 miles. That will be a lot for me this early in my season. I mean, I'm a Yooper! It's cold this time of year! But I need to suck it up and start getting dressed for the weather and pound that pavement. Time is running out.
