Happy Easter Everyone. This is the first Easter I remember going to church and seeing very few spring bonnets and bright colors. Everyone was dressed warm. Upper 40's here. but pretty outside-sunshine, where's my spring? it was here a week ago. Jenn

Happy Easter, everyone. I'm in St. Simon's Island, Georgia beginning a week long bike tour of St. Simon's and Jekyll Islands. Kinda chilly....50's but should be in the high 60's and love 70's throughout the week: perfect biking weather. I brought my new Trek 2.1 and here she sits leaning against my computer table in the hotel, waiting to rear up and take on the trails tomorrow.
Hope you all had a good day....and are with those you love.
Best,

...and Boo Bike, too
Happy Easter! Our plan, DH and I, was to spend a few days on the island of Smøla, visiting our neighbors in their second home and cycling around the island a bit. Then the weather forecasts turned nasty and we left the bikes at home. Just as well. This was what the weather looked like as we drove off the ferry. The storm turned windier and colder day by day; poor biking conditions became fair skiing conditions by day two, but for the wind. Today the wind finally calmed down a bit as we drove home, but as we drove inland the snow got deeper and deeper. We came home to about 6 inches. DH shoveled as I "snowshoed" the gear in from the car. I guess no biking here for a while yet. Oh well. UK Elephant has ordered biking weather for this coming week when I visit her in Essex.![]()
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
Duck-those are awesome pics! I love pictures of weather, especially when its nasty like that.
Its in the 50's here and raining.
Tomorrow I go to Okinawa (think Honolulu) for work...hopefully its nice down there so I can go beach walking!
Okay, in 24 miles, we climbed almost 1500 feet. That seems like a lot to me.
And here's a picture that just HINTS at the views we were treated to throughout today's beautiful ride.![]()
Ian & I are off on a hill ride. We're biking up to a friends house in Roleystone-in the Perth hills. It'll only be about 40km but i'm going to do Peet road twice..If I feel ok after that, Ã*'ll do a few more km's...
