Snowbanks blocking view in the middle of April? Come on. The only snowbanks we’ll have by then are going to be at the mall parking lots, third week of march most snow is usually gone and we are steady in the 50s. If I recall last year by first week of march it was already getting warm and roads were clean. Personally, I don’t have the gear to ride comfortably below 50, and I’m usually a bit rusty after a winter, so I prefer not to stack the odds by going out this early in the year. But I’m only speaking for myself.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m envious of anyone that gets to go out and ride right now, but I still think that it’s unwise.
