WotR Mounted MAA

In an effort to bolster the mounted arm of the Wars of the Roses project, a couple of boxes of Perry Miniatures' mounted knights have been stuck together and painted.  The first unit of eight to trot out from the painting desk are these fellows.

Although mostly covered head to toe in armor, one or two of the horsemen sport the livery of Clifford.  More units, of similar nature, should be emerging from the workbench soon.  Sticking them together takes time, for sure, but the process was not too onerous.  There will be no dread in tackling even more.

Winter, here, in the Pacific Northwest has been relatively mild with only one noteworthy storm dumping seven inches of snow back in January.  Unless the region gets dragged back into winter that means cycling weather approaches earlier than expected.

Taking advantage of, perhaps, an early sighting of spring, I wrapped up and headed out for a short ride on the last day of February.  While I ought to go back to my cycling log to confirm, this might be the earliest I have braved the cold weather in a long time.  Perhaps I am hardier in my old age?

Although the skies will see much cloudier conditions today than in these photos from the 28 Feb. ride, I expect to return to the bike later today for a much longer ride once the temperature rises.  I hope this mild weather sticks.
