Here in the "sunny" South we've had almost daily rain for weeks now. Last Saturday was gorgeous; I had the bike in the car, all ready to go...and then the stomach bug hit, accompanied by 102 fever. So much for that. Got well just in time to go back to work on Monday.

Finally got out yesterday for a good ride...only one hour but lots of hill work. Bike is new (and I'm new to biking) but I was thrilled to see I'd hit 31.5 mph. Fun! Got to the parking lot, stopped,and fell over. Scratched the elbow but not the bike.

Raining again today, rain forecast all week. Y'all hang in there. Only one more week of February!
