Maybe spring

Today the first real day that I can say in Central Illinois spring is upon us for riding. Wind was down early and I am still in long pants riding. I have some running pants I wear and find that they are a good option even if warm can protect skin. Cold does rob the overall speed average but these days I take any turns with caution,
One thing that for me is relatively harder is a 180 degree turn on the 2 lane chip seal that I mostly ride. I try to find intersections to do the turn if I want to go back the opposite direction. Two things throw me and one is the small gravel that can accumulate on edges and intersections you can slide. THe other is my riding skills probably leave much to worked on. Sometimes a tight turn it is easy to spill a bike. Probably should unclip the inside leg I am turning on, mostly the left leg. I don't the  best way.
